Mystic Window
Look for opportunities to remain still and quiet in meditation or thoughtful contemplation. Take advantage of any opportunity to grow and better yourself. Be wary of starting any project that you cannot finish and complete current projects by exercising self-control. Be disciplined, forthright, and modest in all things.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
Mountains recede into the land by Entering the earth and reducing itself
To forest and field
Where men and deer can feel its height.
