Violet quartz grown in a quiet cavity — the mind that goes in to look before it speaks.

I go in and look at it before I speak on it.

How to move over

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

The switch of the whole day

  • Contemplate the whole board before moving one piece.
  • Calculate what the position is worth, not just the task.
  • Take the ground deliberately.
