| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Peter Pan by James M. Barrie: washstand was Pie-crust and reversible, the chest of drawers an
authentic Charming the Sixth, and the carpet and rugs the best
(the early) period of Margery and Robin. There was a chandelier
from Tiddlywinks for the look of the thing, but of course she lit
the residence herself. Tink was very contemptuous of the rest of
the house, as indeed was perhaps inevitable, and her chamber,
though beautiful, looked rather conceited, having the appearance
of a nose permanently turned up.
I suppose it was all especially entrancing to Wendy, because
those rampagious boys of hers gave her so much to do. Really

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Alkahest by Honore de Balzac: the bricks alternately projecting or retreating to the depth of an
inch, giving the effect of a Greek moulding. The glass panes, which
were small and diamond-shaped, were set in very slender leading,

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Tanach: Deuteronomy 14: 11 Of all clean birds ye may eat.
Deuteronomy 14: 12 But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the great vulture, and the bearded vulture, and the ospray;
Deuteronomy 14: 13 and the glede, and the falcon, and the kite after its kinds;
Deuteronomy 14: 14 and every raven after its kinds;
Deuteronomy 14: 15 and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-mew, and the hawk after its kinds;
Deuteronomy 14: 16 the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl;
Deuteronomy 14: 17 and the pelican, and the carrion-vulture, and the cormorant;
Deuteronomy 14: 18 and the stork, and the heron after its kinds, and the hoopoe, and the bat.
Deuteronomy 14: 19 And all winged swarming things are unclean unto you; they shall not be eaten.
Deuteronomy 14: 20 Of all clean winged things ye may eat.
Deuteronomy 14: 21 Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself; thou mayest give it unto the stranger that is within thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto a foreigner; fo
