| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Iron Puddler by James J. Davis: nail" when I crawled under that floor and let Fatty step on me.
There is a saying, "You can't keep a good man down." But Fatty
kept me down, and so I must admit he was a better man than I was.
Some people say you should cheer for the under-dog. But that
isn't always fair. The under-dog deserves our sympathy, the
upper-dog must be a better dog or he couldn't have put the other
dog down. I give three cheers for the winner. Any tribe that
adopts the rule of always hissing the winner has found a real way
to discourage enterprise.
I owned a part interest in some pigeons with a boy named Jack
Thomas. The pigeons' nests were in Jack's back yard. He told me

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Odyssey by Homer: apples. There are luscious figs also, and olives in full growth.

fruit, others again are just changing colour. In the furthest
part of the ground there are beautifully arranged beds of

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from U. S. Project Trinity Report by Carl Maag and Steve Rohrer: 0.032 R/h. The occupied ranch house was also surveyed, both inside
and outside. The highest reading outdoors was 0.028 R/h, and the
highest reading indoors was 0.004 R/h (11; 19).
Monitoring was also conducted in offsite areas other than those to the
north and northeast of ground zero. Monitors found no radiation
readings above background levels (11).
Significant fallout from the TRINITY cloud did not reach the ground
within about 20 kilometers northeast of ground zero. From this point,
the fallout pattern extended out 160 kilometers and was 48 kilometers
wide. Gamma intensities up to 15 R/h were measured in this region
several hours after the detonation. One month later, intensities had
