Mystic Window
Now is the time for replenishing and renewal.
Conserve your resources and calmly gather your strengths. Avoid those who want to forcefully press forward. In fact, be cautious of all your dealings with others. Don't worry;
success is coming.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
The strength of water over the strength of
wind
Reveals a penetrating strength
That moves the water wheel
And replenishes the entire surroundings.

Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
Line 1
The well is old;
The water is poisoned.
Seek nourishment elsewhere.
Line 2
The well is cracked;
The water leaks out.
Seek to repair it.
Line 3
The well is disturbed;
The water is brackish.
It was repaired improperly.
Seek wisdom and try again.
Line 4
The well is solid and firm;
The water has integrity.
No problems are present.
Line 5
The well is filled;
The water is cool and nourishing.
Line 6
The well is young;
The water is vibrant and healthy.
It forms the life center
Of all that gather around it.
