This is only the second time I see a swan Here. Quietly floating. Toward me... Briefly, the Pond becomes a stage. And Maya Plisetskaya comes into sight... Then turns away. Dips her neck into the water. Yanks a blade of grass. Spiraling IT out of the water. And moves on in silence. Each atom in perfect balance. The very definition of Supreme Grace.
To paraphrase Tao Te Ching: Supreme Grace does not know grace, that is why it has grace...
