| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Old Indian Legends by Zitkala-Sa: In awe and amazement the village was dumb. And when the
avenger, plucking a red eagle feather, placed it in his black hair,
a loud shout of the people went up to the sky. Then hither and
thither ran singing men and women making a great feast for the
avenger.

telling to her children the story of the big red eagle.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from A Start in Life by Honore de Balzac: my lad!" he said to Pierrotin.

the third post-horse."
"There she is," said Pierrotin, pointing to the little mare, who was
coming along alone.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from At the Earth's Core by Edgar Rice Burroughs: the sithic engaged in pawing at the spear stuck through
his lower jaw, and so busily engaged did he remain in this
occupation that I had gained the safety of the cliff top
before he was ready to take up the pursuit. When he did
not discover me in sight within the valley he dashed,
hissing into the rank vegetation of the swamp and that was
the last I saw of him.

I hastened to the cliff edge above Ja and helped him
to a secure footing. He would not listen to any thanks
