Mystic Window
Now is the time to think before you speak and think even longer before taking action. Take a step back and assess the situation carefully.
Embrace quietude and stillness both internally and externally. Be still and closely examine all of your options. This is a great time to learn to meditate.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
Mountain above and mountain below,
Reveals energy that must pause at the gate Before the gentleman becomes a sage, Frees the self, and achieves immortality.

Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
1. The feet are as sedate as mountains.
Thus stilled,
The soul walks without misstep.
The legs are as sedate as mountains.
Thus stilled,
The heartmind is upset and no help is
forthcoming.
The loins are as sedate as mountains.
Thus stilled,
The heartmind becomes frantic and self.
destructive.
The bodymind is as sedate as mountains.
The soul travels about on its own.
The Five Elements are balanced And the emotions are stable.
The mouth is as sedate as mountains.
The right words can be said.
The Qi of regrets dissipates.
Be as sedate as mountains
With the soul as active as a raging river.
Stillness begets authenticity and Authenticity begets stillness.
Abundance abounds.
