Mystic Window
Now is not the time for prevarication, squeamishness, or passivity. In all of your actions, behave resolutely and single-mindedly. Be cautious, but stand your personal ground. People with ulterior motives will try to take advantage of you. Push back their negative influences with quiet contemplation and mindful activity.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
Winds above and winds below
Are unseen, tenacious, and resolute.
Effortlessly blend your heartmind accordingly
And be
Unseen, tenacious, and resolute.

Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
Line 1
Wind can move forward or backward. The warrior consults his soul And the wise general. Then, he proceeds with confidence and purpose.
Line 2
An ill wind moves beneath the bed Signaling a need to consult a magician. Where is the precise congress of heaven and earth? What does it say? Find out and abundance abounds. strong wind blows too long and brings sorrows and regrets.
Line 3
The wind subsides enough
To capture three different kinds of birds.
There is auspicious variety in the field
Line 4
The wind's end is a beginning.
The wind's beginning is an end.
The Qi will shift mid-week.
If the dictates of the soul are
Heard and heeded
Abundance will abound.
Line 5
An ill wind moves beneath the bed.
No rest.
No safety.
A thief has taken it all.
This is very unfortunate.
