Mystic Window
It is time to pay homage to wisdom and experience. Focus your intent and keep your eye on the prize. Work alone but do not count on your past successes or reputation. Mindfully observe yourself as you work to accomplish your goals.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
A lake bird stands on one leg at the water's edge,
As drum beats echo through the valley.
Moving waves blend effortlessly
With the still shoreline.

Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
Line 1
You are hearing words
But you cannot grasp the meaning.
Gather yourself and fortify your Qi.
Ask to hear the words again.
This time, listen simply.
Once the complex is made simple
You may relax and feel secure.
Line 2
Allow abundance to lead you And you will make no mistakes.
Allow the spirits to speak and sing to you And more abundance will follow their music.
Line 3
The Qi of disappointment presents itself.
You will feel heavy and slow.
Not fighting it brings sadness,
But no regrets.
Line 4
The Qi of great abundance presents itself.
No problems, mistakes, or errors.
Line 5
Consolidate your Qi by
Embracing the true breath.
Consolidate your spirit by
Embracing the Tao through ritual and music.
Your heartmind will clear.
Line 6
Now is the time to mourn a loss.
Do not hide your grief.
Rather, find strength in it.
