On Widowhood
Poem by San Mao, translated by Bombie:
The rose climbs the wall slowly,
Even the moss is quicker,
The little dots of flowers are my stars, motionless.
So many years, the night can never pass,
The wait is like the Milky Way on my weave,
Weaving, weaving, I weave my little ferryboat.
Always people come, and ask me when I’ll marry,
I say, when this, one more budding bloom is done,
Then another, and another, and another…
…not before.
HOW TRUE !
'weave', 'weaving' used in place of 'sampler' and 'stitching' (source Bombie)

Lawful-Good 76% Good, 34% Chaotic |
Plane of Existence: Mount Celestia, "The Seven Heavens". Description: Countless paladins and saints have ascended here. Notable Inhabitants: Angels and Devas. Examples of Lawful-Goods (Ethically Lawful, Morally Good) Superman The Tick ("Lawful Stupid") Abraham Lincoln Sherlock Holmes Phileas Fogg Captain Picard A person with a lawful good attitude believes in the use of authority and rule of law to bring good to the greatest number of people. Her/His actions support the status quo and s/he uses systems and organizations to achieve good goals. S/He will keep his/her word and value truth. S/He will avoid the use of poison and use violence only when authorized to do so or in self defense. S/He may or may not be disciplined, organized, emotionally restrained, caring, compassionate, and peaceful, but s/he believes that these are admirable qualities. Respects law and order and is willing to suffer limitations on individual freedom for the benefit of the group. Puts moral principles before material considerations. The lawful good person will be a very faithful member of a group, but if the laws of the group clash with the ethics dictated by his or her moral alignment, the lawful good person will probably leave that group and look for a group more closely aligned with his or her ethics. The lawful good person is an active advocate of his or her beliefs. Lawful Good "Crusader" A lawful good [person] upholds society and its laws, believing that these laws are created to work for the good and prosperity of all. He is both honest and benevolent. He will work within the established system to change it for the better, and strives to bring order to goodness that other good-aligned [people] might pool their resources to better the world. A lawful good [person] combines a commitment to oppose evil with discipline. Most lawful good [people] live by a strict code of honor, or by the rules of conduct set down by their deity. They will generally selflessly act by these codes even at the cost of their own life. Lawful good combines honor and compassion for the innocent. A knight/paladin who always follows the orders of his superiors is an example of a lawful good [person].
