Mystic Window
Look for opportunities to turn inward and listen to your intuition. Remember that situations mature in their own time. The laws of heaven will not be rushed or impeded. Also, look for opportunities to be alone as you work and study.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
The earth and sky
Cannot speak as they
Move away from each other
Acting like ambitious mirrors.

Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
Line 1
Pull out the weeds and overgrown grass, Being careful not to make the hole too big.
Clear the field, turn the soil, and move forward.
Qi moves into the earth.
Organize people
According to their gifts and deficits.
Solidly embrace the Qi of intuition.
Line 2
Embrace common sense and
Stand quietly by the plain and unadorned.
Extend Qi to the simple man.
Line 3
The offering is sacred.
Honor the inner contract
As well as the outer one.
Line 4
Stretch up with the top of your head And receive the power of the Heavens.
The community of souls seems divided
But acts with the Qi of unity.
Line 5
Stop! Stand! Rest! Repose!
Dive into the earth seeking nourishment
And feel the thickness of life
Around you.
Line 6
The Qi of change is the Qi of opposition.
Complete the sad hindrance
By turning it to joy.
