《That One, With the Scar as Axis, Who Dances, The Nameless Dancer》

Esteemed Colleagues:
This letter, aims, for us, that, currently researching, named "Heart-Burning Note" (Fén Xīn Jiān) artifact, to provide, a, from "the mortal realm," "Attestation."
I, in a, almost, by the world forgotten, dance studio, witnessed, a, nameless dancer. She, let me believe, we, that which (we) seek, about "Trauma-Theosis," "the Archetype," indeed, is, with, an incomparably moving posture, truly, existing, in this world.
She, did not, with me, conduct, a, formal "interview." We, just, in a, gold-sunlight-filled afternoon, quietly, sat opposite, speech, also, intermittent. I, was more like, one who was permitted, to enter her "Temple," "a ritual observer."
She, let me, see her leg's, that "Mark." A, from knee, extending to ankle, long, light-colored "Line." She said, in the beginning, she, saw it as a "Rest Note" (Kyūshifu), it was, her, as a dancer, the "pronounced" "End." That, was a, long, by "Silence" "drowned," period of time.
The turning point, occurred, when, she, completely, abandoned "resistance," after. She, began, using, a, almost "archaeological" "posture," to, re-"cognize" her own body. She, used fingertips, to, touch that scar's "texture," to, feel it, that, with, surrounding intact skin, completely different "quality" and "memory."
She, said to me: “Here, is not the ‘End Point’, but, another ‘Origin Point’.”
After that, she, again, began to dance. But, that, was already, a, completely new "dance." She, no longer, pursued, those, toward the sky "escaping," high-difficulty "leaps." But rather, took, that, once injured leg, as, the entire dance's, absolute "Axis" and "Foundation."
I, had the honor, to, with my own eyes, witness, that, named "Axis," solo dance. I, saw, her, all movements, all, as if, from that "still scar," "growing" out. Rotating, was for, better, returning to its "Stillness." Extending, was for, more deeply, feeling its "Strength."
That scar, became her, entire "Dance Temple's," "Foundation-Stone." She, with a, breathtaking beauty, upon, that "former ruin," established, a, more stable, and more compassionate, "Sanctuary."
At that moment, I, saw the "Heart-Burning Note's," entire "Gnosis": That, "Ice-Crystal-Flower"-like, early pursuit, of "Perfection." That, "Sacred Fire"-like, enough-to-"burn-the-heart," "Quenching." And, finally, sedimented upon that "scar," that smear, named "Rose-Ember," profound "Wisdom" and "Tranquility."
This nameless dancer, she, did not know "Heart-Burning Note." But she, without doubt, is, its, in the human realm, most profound "Confidante" (Zhiyin).
This letter, merely for record.
