the real phenomenon
About the phenomenon
I see dragon shapes in nature. In whispy serpentine clouds streaking across the blue before rain, the bilateral symmetry of flowers and the lake water reflections during drout! Seeing these dragon shapes in nature connected to the coming of the life giving water makes the dragon symbolic to me.
About Dragons
"The Eastern dragon is not the gruesome monster of mediaeval imagination, but the genius of strength and goodness. He is the spirit of change, therefore of life itself... Hidden in caverns of inaccessible mountains, or coiled in the unfathomed depth of the sea, he awaits the time when he slowly rouses himself to activity. He unfolds himself in the storm clouds; he washes his mane in the blackness of the seething whirlpools. His claws are in the fork of lightening....it becomes the symbol of productive forces of moisture, that is spring, when by means of genial rains and storms all nature renewed itself. C. A. S. Williams OUTLINES OF CHINESE SYMBOLISM AND ART MOTIVES
