Birch and 'B'
 |
| Who is aware of his limitations can reap benefits through it. |
Good work requires energy, and in working hard there is a risk of losing one's spiritual waterfall from inside -
Basic things first. We could let birch help us, a strong, healthy tree. Basic ideas often get expressed through symbols, metaphors.

1 - Free and unmoved individuals need to learn to handle things with tact and expertise, or they eventually succumb
FREE WORK counts - To produce things all you need is to be firm and have more concern for yourself than for your perhaps competing neighbours. And in the long run it may produce good fortune by what is later set up or fixed into habits and common attitudes and routines.Handling work as a free man can be a cause of further good fortune. Confirm little till you're safe yourself.
Tender suggestions can reach in towards stiff condemning attitudes and hardly madden.
LACK OF undue "old man's" respect and reverence may effect and work well on non-surging types of men, and far too bad on others, which tends to form the majority. One could expect that.
One should hardly advocate a lot to all and sundry, but stick to what works well with aplomb. It's not too respect-less.
Special regards of rank and things may be lessened - and the next you may harvest are set-backs or back-biting unless you are staunch and learn your lessons as fast as you can - to manoeuvre in the "in between" fields somehow.
Standing on your own can be a cause of major set-backs or good fortune, depending on how you learn to manage and handle things and stuff - but more goes into it than that.
One should stick to one's assets and advocate little apart from that in the public life - there may be time for that later. In the public sphere very many persons strive to "sell out" somehow for advantages sooner or later. ¤
2 - It should feel fit to conclude well and time in to what's good for the inner man somehow, or there is the risk of uprising vanity
CONCLUDE well or dominate little - and maybe you can afford it. Look better into basic structures the sooner the better where the common deals are not be good enough. It may be only too late to detect them otherwise,. So go for finding out this and that a bit first-hand as well.Conform deals are hardly good and sane enough for someone like you. The impetus that yields fertility may unsettle and unnerve somebody around - or maybe it is wasted. New beginnings may not be totally wasted: get away from ablatives. For gross, ablative influences can bring on severe losses by "melting" you deep inside - including unnerving you.
The spring of vanity is much found in unfulfilled, personal elegance of deals and of handling items. Knowing it, perhaps you have to make it your point to unnerve no one and unsettle no one - for the time being, at least. And so, splendour is good enough at this time, good local splendour. Lovely scenery can be big help too. Advancing into splendid outfit and good handling proficiency may help a bit - at least to look at - against condemning attitudes.
There is hope that you may remain useful to beginners by many small doses of hints and nuggets, as you may see it fit. If so, bold beginnings may neither be completely enervating nor totally wasted.
ONE SHOULD conclude well, no matter where one is, if anything at all is at stake - to see what might be done. You had better be forewarned that vain guys can find it opportune to unnerve finer ones they reach into.
TENDER hints and warm liking may be resorted to, and perhaps not in vain.
3 - Grand, fair and elegant suggestions may or may not carry well-rounded solutions in them
THE INFORMATION you need to gather is indeed hard in the first stages. The great attitude is not one of dominance over young ones, but of handy hints. Thus, since a fine suggestion with aplomb may not look very much, even expert handling can feel silly - it depends. Feel more free and unrestrained inside yourself, attain being the unequalled among others. There is reason to expect set-backs - thus, try to attain hardier handles on tools and stuff to remain - remain steady and tough as nails as demands may increase.One can definitely try to be with gentle persons, those whose inner life stream can be felt to be very good and rewarding in itself. Advocate little, stay sane, and hold your fort as you can - it stands to reason. You can't reason with an army. Thus, mental snugness is not for you.
GRAND vitality and fair beginnings, one has to be tough as nails for that sort of stuff, or much basically ideal stuff may get wasted. Elegant fortune can be looked on as a birch in spring-time. It seems to be nice and shielding to some - yet you yourself must be tough enough for it - as elegance and fortune can demand tough fibres (guts) of you just to carry on like that.
Suggestions and general information in very small doses can at times work well on severe underdog-opinions in gentle persons. The beauty and splendours of spring can reward many a task or work in the open. Besides, who remains very good and able may look good and with youthful zest and vivacity too. One should do one's utmost so as not to get ensnared.
4 - Muse well; firm resolves might next get through out into the outer fields in time
YOU CAN be one of the first if you like, but take time to think of why none else goes for things that demanding too. Good work can be of many kinds anyhow.Natural impetuses and natural-looking briskness and boldness may evoke temperamental outburst. A certain loss of respect of the old, settled calm of affairs may do the trick, or may lead into disasters to come. ¤
MAYBE children found out how to drive a very hard bargain that is stuck to firm as rock, even in your own mind too. And what is more, no matter what the carpenters tell you, how often the say they like you, carpenters are not your real friends any more than butchers are the friends of animals they slaughter. Let us not forget that, particularly if you're free-wheeling.
What is held firmly in mind - it can be a new beginning. Thus, get rid of the dross inside yourself too, not only that of others. Driving a hard bargain can make for renewed dealings in some cases, lost contacts in others. You should not be so severe that no one at all likes you around.
Driving a nail through a hole may not be to your liking.
5 - The fair-looking beginning can be for good or bad, so learn to take heed in time
PECK LITTLE and survive. To drive out evil influences that often make one sorry: think mentally: "you may begin." ¤THERE seems to be hope of artistic fairness inside someone like yourself. Who imbibes and ingests a lot can and should produce things in time, through sound artistry or better.
A period that makes certain things new, can also be marked as the beginning of some bitterer phase of life, unless underlying problems get well resolved in time.
Deep Ecology Lesson
A PUPIL asked his Zen instructor,"How can I make the mountains, the rivers and the great Earth benefit me?"
The man of Zen answered,
"Benefit the mountains, the rivers and the great Earth."
Toronto Woman (True Story)
A Toronto woman was in a hurry about cleaning up the Great Lakes and was very stressed out. One afternoon, unable to work because of it, she drew a hot bath and put her favourite album on the stereo. While relaxing in the hot water, she heard a voice in her head. It said:"You do not have to clean up the Great Lakes by Friday."
Therefore she increased her effectiveness. [Link]
