Mystic Window
Look for opportunities to appreciate the points of view of others. Do not get lost in mindless activities and curb your desire to play too much. Stay relaxed, alert, flexible, and calm.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
A mountain stream seeks the valley
Where it lends itself To cultivated land and soil
As a revealed force.
Hidden, Roof, Childlike, Wise, Enfold, Bushel basket, Twining grass (Dodder)
Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
Line 1
Quickly release youthful Qi.
Reach out to meet the moment
As if shackles bind your hands and feet.
Avail yourself of rules and order.
Line 2
Protect youthful Qi
And receive the son's wife
By holding the gates open for her arrival.
Be willowy, yet weighted low.
Line 3
Do not fully embrace the receptive Qi.
The metal man begins to move past you.
Make no plans;
Yield and overcome.
Line 4
Stay alert to the Qi of the present ever
By embracing inner wisdom.
Line 5
The Qi is innocent, childlike, and unspoiled.
Line 6
Abruptly cease concealment.
Strike down the youthful Qi With measured force.
