Verdelite grown in agreeable company — of the same kind, born easy to be near.

Where the ground is uneven, I raise the low side.

How to move over

  1. 1Name it without shame: today you were standing on abrasive.
  2. 2Say the law once — The Law of Patronage — and bow to it. That bow is obeisance.
  3. 3Do one small thing only congenial would do, inside the next hour.
  4. 4Put on the robe: carry Green Tourmaline for the rest of the day as the sign you switched sides.

The switch of the whole day

  • Be warm first, capable second — both are true.
  • Give one person your courtesy in a way they will remember.
  • Let someone patronise your work by asking them to.
