Mystic Window
Now is the time to think before you speak and think even longer before taking action. Take a step back and assess the situation carefully.
Embrace quietude and stillness both internally and externally. Be still and closely examine all of your options. This is a great time to learn to meditate.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
Mountain above and mountain below,
Reveals energy that must pause at the gate Before the gentleman becomes a sage, Frees the self, and achieves immortality.
