Steven Karcher & Michael Servetus
Hiding your Brightness through flight. Dipping your wings in the waters. The Realizing Person goes three days without eating. Have a direction to go. Master your words and you can influence others.
You are escaping from an impossible situation. You can convince people if you master your words. Work on in the dark to provide for the future. An unconscious animal force is biting through to aid you. These goings and comings will release the energy now bound up in the past. Co-operate with the on-going process of change.

Darkening of the light during flight.
He lowers his wings.

The superior man does not eat for three days
On his wanderings.
But he has somewhere to go.
The host has occasion to gossip about him.
With grandiose resolve a man endeavors to soar above all obstacles, but thus encounters a hostile fate. He retreats and evades the issue. The time is difficult. Without rest, he must hurry along, with no permanent abiding place. If he does not want to make compromises within himself, but insists on remaining true to his principles, he suffers deprivation. Never the less he has a fixed goal to strive for even though the people with whom he lives do not understand him and speak ill of him.
