The Image of Fire over Thunder
The image of clenched teeth. Are they yours or others?
This is a time to be on guard for people not telling the truth.
Confront issues with clarity, determination and respect.
Bite though obstacles with energy.
Remove what is unnecessary.
Be clear. Act with the force of thunder and lightning.
Use compassion and good judgement when enforcing the law.
Nine in the First Place
When I make an error in judgement
it feels like being bound in chains,
unable to go the next step.
Six in the Third Place
Not again!
The same distasteful situation.
I must take the upper hand
to decisively bite through obstacles.
Nine in the Fourth Place
The situation has become more difficult.
I must be like a straight arrow
taking direct action with firm discipline.
This will feel tiresome.
I will do it anyway.
The result will be for everyone’s benefit.
Six in the Fifth Place
There is a time to be lenient with punishment.
Confront all past issues with your family.
Be aware of your responsibility in the matter.
Follow the golden rule.
Don’t seek revenge.
Nine the the Last Place
Some people are incorrigible.
They don’t seek counsel.
They don’t understand what happened.
Listen and learn from your mistakes.
