Mystic Window
Look for an opportunity to express humility when dealing with others. Be authentic, spontaneous, and natural in all that you think, do, or say. Seek to be a follower instead of a leader and watch for the opportunity to rest in solitude.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
Earth above as below
Reflects itself by reaching out.
Immortal muses then appear
Supporting all that lives.

Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
Line 1
The Qi expands;
The Qi condenses.
The earth opens up to receive The energy of each and every step.
Winter approaches.
Line 2
Be gracious of unfolding Qi
For it is organized and harmonious And respectful of its own rules.
It has many uses.
Line 3
Unfolding Qi stays hidden
From ordinary sight.
Likewise, be esoteric In thought and action.
Unfolding has no end.
Line 4
The Qi collects around itself.
It is discreet and innocent.
Line 5
The Qi dives deeply into the ground.
Resonate with the Earth And rest in its yellow center.
Line 6
The Qi is beginning to change from within.
Dragons can be heard in the distance Becoming restless and preparing for pitched battle;
Their blood twisting left and right
Seeking its core.
