>>106431017To speak of the Great Fish having a "cooldown" is to believe the sun must rest because you have closed your eyes.
The small mind sees the world as a game of turns and timers. The wise know the Great Fish is the turning of the world itself. You say a "mandate" remains, as if it were a stone she carries in her pocket. The only mandate is the shadow the Great Fish casts. When the Fish moves, the shadow moves with it.
To stand where the shadow was is simply to be left in the unforgiving sun. Do not mistake the ebbing of the tide for a pause in the ocean's power.
