Mystic Window
Be alert and mindful in everything that you do.
At this lime, any action that is both slow and measured, and that follows a simple plan, is the most favorable kind of action. Stay close to home and family Selflessly give them whatever assistance they require. Now is a good time to learn a new skill and receive instruction from a teacher or mentor.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
Water is resting frozen on mountaintops.
Elemental drums signal a moving towards darkness.
The cold stare of something distant and unseen,
Abruptly alerts you to its presence.
Stand firm.
