| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Call of the Canyon by Zane Grey: brown leaves still fluttering on the scrub-oaks. At length Carley came out
on the edge of the bluff with the gray expanse of seat beneath her, and a
long wandering shore line, ragged with wreckage or driftwood. The surge of
water rolled in--a long, low, white, creeping line that softly roared on
the beach and dragged the pebbles gratingly back. There was neither boat
nor living creature in sight.
Carley felt the scene ease a clutching hand within her breast. Here was
loneliness and solitude vastly different from that of Oak Creek Canyon, yet
it held the same intangible power to soothe. The swish of the surf, the
moan of the wind in the evergreens, were voices that called to her. How
many more miles of lonely land than peopled cities! Then the sea-how vast!

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The White Moll by Frank L. Packard: had never lost it in the face of many a really serious danger when
with her father - why should she now, when there was nothing but
the silence and the darkness to be afraid of!
The flashlight went on again, its ray creeping inquisitively now
along the rear wall of the shop. It held finally on an escritoire
over in the far corner at her right.
Once more the light went out. She moved swiftly across the floor,
and in a moment more was bending over the escritoire. And now,
with her body hiding the flashlight's rays from the front windows,
she examined the desk. It was an old-fashioned, spindle-legged
affair, with a nest of pigeonholes and multifarious little drawers.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Tanach: Zechariah 8: 4 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: There shall yet old men and old women sit in the broad places of Jerusalem, every man with his staff in his hand for very age.
Zechariah 8: 5 And the broad places of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the broad places thereof.
Zechariah 8: 6 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvellous in Mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts.
Zechariah 8: 7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Behold, I will save My people from the east country, and from the west country;
Zechariah 8: 8 And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.
Zechariah 8: 9 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets that were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, even the temple, that it might be built.
Zechariah 8: 10 For before those days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the adversary; for I set all men every one against his neighbour.
Zechariah 8: 11 But now I will not be unto the remnant of this people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts.
Zechariah 8: 12 For as the seed of peace, the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to
