Mystic Window
Now is not the time to overreach. Circumspection is the key to success as your situation is in flux.
Be alert. If you see a problem, correct it resolutely and as quickly as possible. Don't get caught in the cusp of changing circumstances.
Above all, trust your intuition and wait for the precise moment to react.
Poem — Sifu John A. Fey
Fire dances on the water's surface
While treasures resting below
Remain hidden in plain sight.
A single drop of water
Will change everything.

Alchemic Wisdom — Yao Tsi (Line Verses)
Line 1
The changeling wets his foxtail
And is off balance.
He has cause to regret his carelessness.
Line 2
Move slowly and deliberately.
Embrace the even Qi and
Consult the soul.
Abundance abounds.
Line 3
This journey is not over yet.
Cross the great stream
But go no further.
Line 4
Shake off the confusion like a horse
Trembles and shakes off sweat.
Seek nourishment, stand firm, and Attack the demons where they live. Abundance abounds. Great success will approach you in threes.
Line 5
Your soul will tell you
Whatever you need to do.
Listen and heed the messages.
Embrace authenticity,
Be creative,
Shine brightly, and Feed your spirit.
Line 6
Being just drunk enough
And not one bit more,
Brings freedom, strength, and confidence
Without mistakes of any kind.
Being just drunk enough And a little bit more
Brings lassitude, weakness, bravado, And unauthentic wisdom.
Embrace the Qi of authenticity.
