| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Venus and Adonis by William Shakespeare: Like many clouds consulting for foul weather. 972
By this, far off she hears some huntsman holloa;
A nurse's song no'er pleas'd her babe so well:
The dire imagination she did follow
This sound of hope doth labour to expel; 976
For now reviving joy bids her rejoice,
And flatters her it is Adonis' voice.
Whereat her tears began to turn their tide,
Being prison'd in her eye, like pearls in glass; 980
Yet sometimes falls an orient drop beside,
Which her cheek melts, as scorning it should pass

held the stern of the boat against the current. This thrust the
bow in, till a nimble breed climbed ashore with the painter and
made fast.
"One leel tam, madame, I go look see."
A chorus of dogs marked his disappearance over the edge of the
bank, but a minute later he was back again.

find mans at home. But him no go vaire far, vaire long, or him no
leave dogs. Him come queek, you bet!"

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery: "I've never been in the depths of despair, so I can't say,"

the depths of despair?"
"No, I didn't."
"Then I don't think you can understand what it's like. It's
very uncomfortable feeling indeed. When you try to eat a lump
comes right up in your throat and you can't swallow anything,
not even if it was a chocolate caramel. I had one chocolate
caramel once two years ago and it was simply delicious. I've
often dreamed since then that I had a lot of chocolate caramels,
