Temporary Shelter

Wild geese settle on the trees. Someone gives you a branch to rest on, the rafters of the house. This is not a mistake. This is a resting-place after a great transition, a portent of future happiness. Retreat to rekindle the real love you feel for others. You are confronting a troublesome past experience. If you use force now you will only be entangled. Have patience. Open your heart anew. You will reverse what looks like a subservient position. You are coupled with a creative force.

The wild goose goes gradually draws near the tree. Perhaps it will find a flat branch. No blame. ##### Comments A tree is not a suitable place for a wild goose. But if it is clever, it will find a flat branch on which it can get a footing. A man's life too, in the course of its development, often brings him into inappropriate situations, in which he finds it difficult to hold his own without danger. Then it is important to be sensible and yielding. This enables him to discover a safe place in which life can go on, although he may be surrounded by danger.
