       Dedication

       For Geoffrey, Who gives me both the fish and the bear’s paw.

       When there is action above and compliance below, this is called the natural order of things.

       When the man thrusts from above and the woman receives from below, this is called the balance between heaven and earth.

      –Dong Xuanzi (Tang dynasty, AD 618–907)
