| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Oedipus Trilogy by Sophocles: OEDIPUS
Here too my zeal has nothing lagged, for twice
At Creon's instance have I sent to fetch him,
And long I marvel why he is not here.
CHORUS
I mind me too of rumors long ago--
Mere gossip.
OEDIPUS
Tell them, I would fain know all.
CHORUS
'Twas said he fell by travelers.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Desert Gold by Zane Grey: in every muscle. Like a dog he followed Dick around the house.
Hearing shouts in the direction of the corrals, Gale bent swift
steps that way.
He caught up with Jim Lash, who was also leading a white horse.
"Hello, Jim! Guess it's all over but the fireworks," said Dick.
"I cain't say just what has come off," replied Lash. "I've got the
Bull. Found him runnin' in the yard."
They reached the corral to find Belding shaking, roaring like a
madman. The gate was open, the corral was empty. Ladd stooped
over the ground, evidently trying to find tracks.
"I reckon we might jest as well cool off an' wait for daylight,"

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Nada the Lily by H. Rider Haggard: others? Because of the wickedness of the peoples, you say; but no, no,
that cannot be, for do not the guiltless go with the guilty--ay, do
not the innocent children perish by the hundred? Perchance there is
another answer, though who am I, my father, that I, in my folly,
should strive to search out the way of the Unsearchable? Perchance it
is but a part of the great plan, a little piece of that pattern of
which I spoke--the pattern on the cup that holds the waters of His
wisdom. Wow! I do not understand, who am but a wild man, nor have I
found more knowledge in the hearts of you tamed white people. You know
many things, but of these you do not know: you cannot tell us what we
were an hour before birth, nor what we shall be an hour after death,
Nada the Lily |
