Form Description:
This instrument is a "Long Pin of the Divine Bird's Feather."
The core of its "form" 'is' 'a' 'feather,' 'brushed' by the 'wind,' 'yet' 'carrying' an 'abyss-like' 'stillness.'
Its 'form' is 'Motion' (Dō), but its 'colors' (ink-black, cyan-blue) are 'Stillness' (Sei).
The 'gold foil' 'accents' 'are' the 'sparks of wisdom' 'erupting' 'between' 'motion and stillness.'
Ritual of Creation:
This instrument was born from the artisan's 'comprehension' (Satori) of 'dynamic balance.'
True 'balance' is not the 'stillness' of a 'scale's' two ends, 'but' the 'flow' of 'riding a bicycle.'
The artisan 'attempted' 'to' 'materialize' this 'higher wisdom'—'of' 'maintaining the center' 'while' 'in flow'—'into' a 'wearable' 'reminder.'
Balance is not the 'pull of opposites,' but 'dynamic harmony.' It 'is' the 'finding' of the 'unmoving' 'axis' 'within' the 'swiftest' 'change.' To wear the 'Feather of the Abyss Luan' 'is' to 'allow' the 'external' to 'flow' 'like' 'wind,' 'while' the 'internal' 'forever' 'rests' in 'abyss-like' 'serenity.' The 'Divine Bird' (Luan) 'resting' 'by' the 'Abyss'—its 'wings' 'possess' 'both' the 'flow' of 'wind' 'and' the 'stillness' of the 'abyss.' Balance 'is,' 'amidst' the 'most intense' 'motion,' 'anchoring' the 'deepest' 'tranquility.' As a 'mind-seal,' wear It. 'To' 'find' the 'inner' 'unmoving axis' 'within' the 'storms of life.'

Tracing the Origin of the Divine Essence

Visit"The 'wisdom' of 【Connection】 allowed me to dissolve into 'All Things'. I was once the 'wind', the 'rain', the 'common breath' of the 'earth'. That 'ecstasy' of Oneness still 'reverberates' in my 'soul'.
However, when I return to 'this body', what I see is still the 'endless pull' of 'black' and 'white', 'gain' and 'loss', 'life' and 'death'. That 'realization' of Oneness and this dualistic 'reality' seem to be 'two' 'irreconcilable' 'worlds'.
How can one, in a 'world' 'full of' 'opposition' and 'change', live out 'that' 'truth' of Oneness? That Sacred Fulcrum which allows the 'soul' to remain 'utterly still' (Ruru Budong) in a 'storm'—where, exactly, is it?
This is the 'riddle' I have come to ask at the Sanctum of 【Balance】."
