What is a cloud tiger hope beast?

Sometimes our circumstances put us in a position where we must live in a perpetual state of expectation.....always watching and listening, always partly shielded yet in full view from the right angle, always poised to receive and integrate new information, always looking for new perches, always evaluating the risk of action toward the hope of opportunity, always in a position to act with precision at a moment's notice, always ready to come into the light and be noticed, always able to rejoice or repair, always prepared to absorb the impact of failure or success, always able to conserve crouched, coiled, still, silent, breathless, always calculating, hunting, resting, readjusting, planning, withholding, deciding, accepting, always being aware.

This is not necessarily a good or bad way to live but it is very energy-intensive. This is the way of a Cloud Tiger Hope Beast. This is my way too.

Thank you for letting me share this with you. Thank you for walking some of this path with me.
