She had none of the desperation or anxiety he saw in others and indeed felt himself. Nary a trace of vileness or cruelty, never a contentious word did she speak nor a look of dismay furrow her brow.

A group of antelope then emerged from the forest, a large buck leading a pair of does and their young, nonchalant, dipping into the tarn for morning refreshment.

She was one with everything and everything, in turn, was one with her.
