The entire clan gathers together in community.
When many people gather in a group
there are bound to be some differences among them.
Be on guard and prepared for unforeseen events.
A good leader is needed to preside over this event.
Work together by being united though a common goal.

Wilhelm/Baynes
A temple is a place dedicated to the service or worship of a deity.
A temple is also the flat part of either side of the head
between the forehead and the ear.
Approach the temple of one’s mind.
The DNA of our ancestors are part of our gathering.
