What does a complete person look like to a sorcerer? Like a luminous egg made out of fibers. All the fibers are complete; they look like strings. It looks like the strings have been tightened like a drum is tightened. (Ring, 120)

In this very gully, in this very cave I found my completeness. (Ring,130)

A complete woman is dangerous in her completeness, more than a man. She is unreliable, moody, nervous, but also capable of great changes. Women like that can pick themselves up and go anywhere.

The natural said that to enter into the other world one has to be complete. To be a sorcerer, on has to all of one’s luminosity: no holes, no patches, and all the edge of the spirit. (Ring, 132)

One has to steal that edge back.
I had to refine my love for those children. I had to do that in dreaming. One has to learn not to care…and not not to like. (Ring, 132)

I want to enter into that other world while I am still alive, as the natural told me. In order to do that I need all the edge of the spirit, I need my completeness. (Ring, 134)
