Morning Papers #3

How does one sip the aromas of a flower and do this with reverence. I think the dragon-bird demonstrates the how. But now the why, one could dive into analyzing why a dragon-bird would even care to attempt such a thing...but I would rather approach this "why" and shift the question to "why wouldn't a dragon-bird want to sip the aromas of a flower it loves in a dream fashion"?
What say you?
