You never sit still long enough to be told anything.
The Anti-Law of Reaction — Placed by circumstance.

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
- 1Name it without shame: today you were standing on distracted.
- 2Say the law once — The Law of Position — and bow to it. That bow is obeisance.
- 3Do one small thing only contemplative would do, inside the next hour.
- 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.
