| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Somebody's Little Girl by Martha Young: Bessie Bell almost forgot to remember now, because every day was so
full of such strange new things to know.
Mama? My Mama?
Bessie Bell did a great deal of thinking about that.
One day the little children were playing at building rock chimneys.
There was not much sand there for little children to play in, so
that the children often built rock chimneys, and rock tables, and
rock fences.
As they were playing one little girl suddenly left the playground
and ran, calling: ``Mama! Mama! Come here; come this way, and see
the chimney we have built!''

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Wyoming by William MacLeod Raine: generaled this thing; played a mighty weak hand for a heap more

anybody asks you." And Denver told the story of the day, making
much of her unflinching courage and nothing of her men's
readiness to back whatever steps she decided upon.
It was ten minutes past eleven when a smooth young, apple-cheeked
lad in khaki presented himself before Helen Messiter with a bow
never invented outside of West Point.
"I am Lieutenant Beecher. Governor Raleigh presents his
compliments by me, Miss Messiter, and is very glad to be able to
put at your service such forces as are needed to quiet the town."

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from The Princess by Alfred Tennyson: Await thee; azure pillars of the hearth
Arise to thee; the children call, and I
Thy shepherd pipe, and sweet is every sound,
Sweeter thy voice, but every sound is sweet;
Myriads of rivulets hurrying through the lawn,
The moan of doves in immemorial elms,
And murmuring of innumerable bees.'
So she low-toned; while with shut eyes I lay
Listening; then looked. Pale was the perfect face;
The bosom with long sighs laboured; and meek
Seemed the full lips, and mild the luminous eyes,
