| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Rig Veda: Thus forms a carpenter the yoke of horses, not to be displaced.
13 Whose chariot-seat hath come again laden with wealth and
bright
with gold,
Lightly, with piercing ends, as 'twere two ranks of heroes
ranged for
fight.
14 This to Duhsima Prthavana have I sung, to Vena, Rama, to
the
nobles, and the King.
They yoked five hundred, and their love of us was famed upon
The Rig Veda |
The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Marriage Contract by Honore de Balzac: seek a fortune! Only your character, your strength of mind could
do it. I sit at your feet. A man who avows his weakness with your
good faith, who rebuilds his fortune from the same motive that
made him wreck it, for love's sake, for the sake of an
irresistible passion, oh, Paul, that man is sublime! Therefore,
fear nothing; go on, through all obstacles, not doubting your
Natalie--for that would be doubting yourself. Poor darling, you
mean to live in me? And I shall ever be in you. I shall not be
here; I shall be wherever you are, wherever you go.
Though your letter has caused me the keenest pain, it has also
filled me with joy--you have made me know those two extremes!

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Poems by Oscar Wilde: O lonely Himalayan height,
Grey pillar of the Indian sky,
Where saw'st thou last in clanging flight
Our winged dogs of Victory?
The almond-groves of Samarcand,
Bokhara, where red lilies blow,
And Oxus, by whose yellow sand
The grave white-turbaned merchants go:
And on from thence to Ispahan,
The gilded garden of the sun,
Whence the long dusty caravan
