| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Black Beauty by Anna Sewell: we have a day of rest, and by the law of England we have a day of rest;
and I say we ought to hold to the rights these laws give us
and keep them for our children."
"All very well for you religious chaps to talk so," said Larry;
"but I'll turn a shilling when I can. I don't believe in religion,
for I don't see that your religious people are any better than the rest."
"If they are not better," put in Jerry, "it is because
they are not religious. You might as well say that our country's laws
are not good because some people break them. If a man gives way
to his temper, and speaks evil of his neighbor, and does not pay his debts,
he is not religious, I don't care how much he goes to church.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Mountains by Stewart Edward White: take, in addition to your gray army-blanket, a thick
quilt or comforter to save your bones. This, with
your saddle-blankets and pads as foundation, should
give you ease--if you are tough. Otherwise take a
second quilt.
A tarpaulin of heavy canvas 17 x 6 feet goes under
you, and can be, if necessary, drawn up to cover your
head. We never used a tent. Since you do not have
to pack your outfit on your own back, you can, if you
choose, include a small pillow. Your other personal
belongings are those you would carry into the Forest.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from King James Bible: waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all
his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all
his banks:
ISA 8:8 And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over,
he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings
shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.
ISA 8:9 Associate yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be broken in
pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye
shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in
pieces.
ISA 8:10 Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the
King James Bible |
