Mystic Window
Now is the fime to laugh in the face of adversity. Above all, embrace an optimistic and hopeful disposition. Uneasiness obscures your vision and clouds your judgment.
Meditate and embrace relaxation and ease.
Stay composed.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
Lake energy over water clogs the wheel, Confines life, and ends growth.
Empty words exhaust life, Surround the kingdom, and
Foretell defeat.
Oppress, Dry river bed, Medicinal herbs,
Sickness, Open mouth, Trapped
Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)

Punished and chastised,
You enter into a dark and strange place.
You will move about bereft and alone.

You are trapped inside yourself.
Your spirit is disturbed.
Friend and foe look the same.
Line 4
Move forward slowly and deliberately.
Confusion and sorrows will vanish.
Line 5
Those who would control others

Be authentic and cultivate the Tao.
Speak often with your soul.

Natural forces restrain and imprison.
Your bodymind is trapped
But your soul can move forward.
Forget what is behind you and Project your spirit forward.
