| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Rivers to the Sea by Sara Teasdale: You waked and loved me so--
I send you back this word,
I know, I know!
SONG
Love me with your whole heart
Or give no love to me,
Half-love is a poor thing,
Neither bond nor free.
You must love me gladly
Soul and body too,
Or else find a new love,

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from King James Bible: in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as
in heaven, so in earth.
LUK 11:3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
LUK 11:4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is
indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from
evil.
LUK 11:5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and
shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three
loaves;
LUK 11:6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have
nothing to set before him?

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Cromwell by William Shakespeare: The King is so advertised of your guilt,
he will by no means admit you to his presence.
CROMWELL.
No way admit me? am I so soon forgot?
Did he but yesterday embrace my neck,
And said that Cromwell was even half himself,
And is his Princely ears so much bewitched
With scandalous ignomy, and slanderous speeches,
That now he dooth deny to look on me?
Well, my Lord of Winchester, no doubt but you
Are much in favour with his Majesty:
