“Mergence”
“Orenda had another unusual sensation when she took hold of the magical book: She felt herself becoming one with it! She perceived herself to be a flexible mosaic of precious gemstones, a ductile creature who could assume any size, small or large, and travel to any place, near or far, through mere intentionality. The book did not seem separate from, but a part of herself. Its essence now flowed through her subtlest capillaries; its beauty now informed her entire being.” (from “Palace of Perfect Wisdom”)
