Mystic Window
It is best to give up any hard-lined opinions that you might have. Find a compromise position and middle path, particularly when encountering the problems of others. Observe events with an eye towards maintaining an overview of salient facts. Avoid crowds and overstimulating circumstances.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
A lake joining the mountain at its base
Forms a partnership of change and repose.
Offering a sacrifice of food and wine Paints a picture of two friends sitting in silence.

Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
Line 1
Personal affairs desperately need tending to;
Waste no time in addressing them.
Embrace the Qi of simplicity.
Remember, less is more.
Line 2
Now is the time to consult the oracle.
Turn inward and listen to your soul.
Abundance gathers.
Now is not the time to assault your enemy.
It will only make him stronger.
Line 3
Traveling alone requires too much Qi.
Traveling with two companions is too frantic.
It exhausts the Qi.
Traveling with one companion
Balances the journey.
Line 4
Sending a message of warmest regards
Increases wellness
And puts disease to route.
It is not a mistake to spread happiness.
Line 5
The Qi of longevity and abundance abounds
In the presence of thoughtful gifts.
It soothes the heartmind And elevates the soul.
Line 6
Go forward and acquire
Many people who will help you.
Revel in the Qi of abundance.
Now is not the time to pare down.
