A small light at the foot of the mountainGrace
Adornment is not concealment; it lets the original be seen.
Bi is fire below the mountain, its light tracing the mountain's outline. Here is the legitimacy of decoration: it does not alter the mountain, only lets people see it. A clearly written sentence, a tidy room, a fitting phrase — all this fire: making content easier to receive, never speaking on content's behalf.
The last line rests on white adornment — plain adornment, which is to say none. After the full circle, the highest decoration is removing the excess. So the boundary is sharp: whatever you add that makes the essence clearer is grace; whatever blurs it is pretense.
