Mystic Window
It is time to listen to your imagination; the muse is speaking. Can you hear it? Engage in quiet contemplation today. Plan your actions carefully and position yourself accordingly. Watch your back and be open to the force of change.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
The lake resting over fire
Portends a great change.
The patient turning of a great wheel
Reveals the depths hidden beneath the surface.

Line 1
Embrace the animal powers. Enter the yellow earth through the center And retrieve your inner strength.
Line 2
Change your perspective.
Resolutely tread a new path
And the Qi of abundance will appear, Brushing aside problems of all kinds.
Line 3
Stop!
Do not proceed.
There is danger ahead.
Consider the signs, Consult with your soul and Alter your course with confidence.
Line 4
Exude strength, optimism, and confidence.
Walk as if drawn forward by your soul And you can change the will of heaven.
Line 5
Embrace the Qi of transformation.
Be tenacious and strong like a tiger.
Consult the Tao, Consult the soul.
The eight worlds are before you.
Line 6
Embrace earthen Qi and transform yourself
To fit the moment.
Elevated men authentically adapt and change.
Lesser men just pretend.
Stop and consider your course of action.
Speak with your soul.
