• Destiny •

Someone awkward and impractical seems like 

A broken hammer on a carpenter's bench.

Some are wantonly driven to destroy 

where they 

Cannot build, like storm sweeping a prairie. 

A restless woman seems to be obsessed 

By a dark being behind her back.

The traditions of one generation are the strength 

Of the next. Grande Dames are at tea.

A dramatic manifestation of genius is

vital to 

Human Destiny. A dark shadow or mantle is 

Thrown suddenly over the right shoulder. 

All is bright sunshine in a cloudless sky. 

Many are prosperous and truly happy, born 

And raised under favorable conditions.

• Conscious Appeal to God • 

A man holding a bow but no arrow 

Can't turn opportunity to advantage. 

He climbs a hill in the dark chasing a light 

Which is just a falling star. Patience!

The wantonness of a storm-swept prairie doesn't help 

Anyone with rash and blighted hopes. More patience!

What are your basic allegiances? A woman 

And two men are eager for some Inception. 

Two women walking together with linked 

Arms are talking confidentially. They attract 

Friends of both sexes in prosperous Concord. 

Making a conscious appeal to God, a boy

With a censer knows he must share any reality 

He would possess in spiritual Rapture.

° Mystical Fascination °

Who makes an immortal contribution to history?

Someone respected when a flag is at half-mast.

A crown over crossed swords is worn by 

One who gains fame at the cost of peace of mind. 

Allegiances are mediated by a woman and two men 

On sunlit land facing south. 

An ancient shepherd in the midst of his flock 

Has mountainous wisdom, loving rural life. 

The fine arts are cultivated by one whose

Inherent harmony and refinement interpret the 

Laurel-wreathed emotions of the soul. 

Someone charming never makes known the 

Secret of his or her mystical fascination.

"A golden ball is suspended from a circular ceiling."

• From Exile to Popularity •

At a meeting of a literary society there is 

Exacting criticism of private acts and attitudes. 

A man sitting naked on a sea-girt rock

Is lonely because misanthropic, outcast. 

A man waves a red flag to prevent a 

crowd 

From rushing over a mountain precipice. 

Mary, with her white lamb, cherishes young 

Ideas, approaching heaven through artlessness. 

A wreath of laurels hanging on a lyre 

has been 

Won by someone peaceable, harmonious, 

Weaving sounds to interpret fine emotions.

A man at the piano who is artistic, eloquent, 

Musical, and popular. Applause!

• Pilgrim Quest or Roving Affection • 

During the meeting of a literary society, 

Criticism stimulates toward broader ideals. 

An animal trainer is kind if he trains himself first,

Developing ethical resoluteness.

An old man, a pilgrim, is seated beneath a tree,

His head bowed in disillusioned thought. 

He looks up to see rings of light in the heavens, 

Not to be understood till a distant future. 

Meanwhile, some have boarded a ship in full 

Sail, to indulge their roving and fanciful 

Natures alert to roving romance. 

"The true lover's knot" unites those

Affectionate and confiding, even when their soulful 

Feelings languish unreciprocated.

Saturday 12th:

An engraver or carver holds a knife

in his hand, 

Having dexterity in the use of edged tools. 

An ostrich is pompous, in assumption a hero, 

But when put to the test has no real ideas.

A man carrying a money-bag in each hand 

Acquires wealth covetously and easily. 

Co-operation, adaptability and expression are 

Keynotes of a girls' basketball team.

A prima donna singing enables listeners to 

Live vicariously in the overflowing richness of 

Her voice flaunting its excellence. 

A great headland with its sea-coast 

Frames a rising sun. Lofty, elevated views 

Are luminous with confident hope.

Sunday 13th:

"Her aspiration called high destiny down;

The body that held this greatness seemed almost 

An image made of heaven's transparent light. 

Its charm recalled things seen in vision's hours, 

A golden bridge spanning a faery flood, 

A moon-touched palm-tree single by a lake

Companion of the wide and glimmering peace,

A murmur as of leaves in Paradise 

Moving when feet of the Immortals pass,

A fiery halo over sleeping hills, 

A strange and starry head alone in Night."

Excellence in overflowing richness. 

One who is magnificently imbued with feelings of 

Magnanimity sees the sun rising over

• Out of Indifference toward Benevolence •

A person supporting the views of the moment 

Thinks slightingly of his best friends, 

And is in danger of attack by those seeming to be 

Vultures or serpents, by reason of carelessness. 

Others turn to methods of divination such as 

The ouija board to develop creative acumen. 

Others serve institutional forms, like a 

Priest conforming to a marriage ceremony

He performs. A bird perched on the top of a tree 

Welcomes the day's dawn with his song.

Children has a kind, benevolent, fatherly

Interest in all, and is much beloved.

A vulture, serpent and leopard threaten an

Indifferent man sleeping on a bundle of clothes. 

Yet in critical cases there is ease of self-recovery.

Outbursts. Ideals are expressed in everyday institutions.

A couple conforms. A lucky person is carried by 

Four men in a sedan chair. Ruinous sloth?

Better, an old man cutting grapes in a vineyard 

Has been watchful and prudent, so now 

Gathers in the fruits of care and foresight.

Conditions are prosperous and truly happy.

• Passing through Gloom to Festivity •

A person climbing a steep hill in the dark 

Is allured by nothing but a falling star. 

He may as well have been wading through 

Knee-deep mud, abortive hopes. 

By a dark pool of water shadowed by 

Dense foliage, he yields to obscurity and gloom.

But there are unmobilizedd resources,

primitive 

Powers akin to an orangutan's dexterity. 

Summoning those, he resembles a hen scratching 

For her chicks. Normality is exalted by 

Human creativity providing for younger ones. 

Men and women in festive attire are assembled

Together and talking. Associations formed casually 

Bring together those mutually advantageous.

Hard work to little personal profit Names a holiday Labor Day. 

A man mines with a pickaxe. A fine

Horse prances in the pride of its strength. 

Immortal distinctiveness constitutes self as such. 

A germ unfolds into knowledge and life. 

Established tradition is spiritual presence in the blood, 

The endowed gentility of a family tree. 

A rustic cottage under a spreading cedar 

Exudes beneficence; succoring, befriending, sheltering 

The wayside traveler. The sun peeps 

Above the horizon, flooding the trees

With glowing rays to reveal what Diogenes sought, 

A man among men initiating a new epoch.

A ripple on a single sea of peace.

He felt the footsteps of a million wills 

Moving in unison to a single goal."
