"In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette,

which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love."

The Jade Lady

"Though the spiritual and sexual force of
the female underlies some of the deepest
symbolism of all cultures, every system of
belief has its own particular version. The
Jade Lady of Taoism, Lan T'sai-ho, is
portrayed in swirling lines suggestive of
organic forms and therefore of the yin
essences of the world. Her association with
jade -{known as the coagulated semen of the
dragon}-is strong indeed. Jade is known as
the mineral symbol of the relation of the
supernal dragon and the elements of earth,
the most perfect expression of the union of
yin and yang and therefore the unification of
two great universal forces"
