42 – The Coin – Mile Marker – Wind and Thunder
The coin is a time to recognize, accomplish and receive reward for concrete tasks. If there is a bridge, then we should cross. If there is a potential, backed by a solid logical foundation, then we should proceed. If we have not a plan, then now is the time to expend resources and formulate the such. If something is good, then we shall imitate it, if something is broken, then we shall fix it.
1st – Spending the Coin – Purchasing the materials of a highest quality will lead to a solid foundation and a house that will last many generations. If we treat our workers with respect and occasionally buy them lunch, then they will be happy to work long hours to help us achieve our goals.
2nd – Accepting the Coin – Someone came from the outside and bestowed upon us an unexpected gift. They would not accept no for an answer. This gift should be accepted graciously and be put to good use.
3rd – The Black Coin – Though his original intention were well, he deviated and dubious means were used to gain the coin. If we go to another now and pledge our loyalty, then all shall be forgiven.
4th – Trusted with the Coin – Openly walking to the center of the sphere, he declares his intention to serve the public. It is good now to be trusted with heavy burdens, for we have the strength to carry it through.
5th – Trusting the Coin – Many wheels turn as which we are unaware. The wise man does not ask questions, rather he moves forward with faith and confidence. Though we may be blind, know that the road is straight and clear.
6th – The Prejudiced Coin – Recalling old guard prejudices, he did not treat someone with the proper respect and incurred the hatred of another clan. This is one of those things that could have been so easily avoided.
All Six – Investing the Coin – Now is the time to focus upon long term goals and make investments for the long run. The farmer plants his crops in spring to harvest in the fall.
