The Samurai's magnetic presence cannot be ignored. She is pure contained ferocity, the force of nature incarnate. The necessity of the moment is all she sees. And, through evidence of her actions, others perceive the intensity and integrity of her inmost vision.
And what is vision, after all, but a living connection with the elemental power of inspiration? Like lightning, it can appear to descend from an external phenomenon- something encountered in the world that reaches out and shakes up the creative essence inside a human being. The source can be turbulent as a monsoon, or silent as a patch of night sky. Everything that exists holds this matchless promise of inspiration.
