Order and Orbit. The Harvest and The Bloom (excerpt)
The field is vast. Wide open with possibility. Fraught with responsibility. Overwhelming with fragility. Golden to a few.
Without labor, outcome is chance. With labor, outcome is assured. Labor is essential to outcome.
Without the tilling, the crops will not grow. Without the force of will, the wilds will overtake the field. Chaos overtakes the order. The order must be imposed for the crops to take root. There is no question. It must be done.
There is an orbit to labor. It proceeds in one direction and must not be reversed, as that is against the nature of things. The orbit is invisible, as all orbits are. The orbit is also plain to see, as all orbits are. Follow the orbit.
The path of the orbit proceeds this way: Till the field, sow the seed, pull the weed, reap the crop.
This is the orbit of the Bloom.
The Wall and the Tower. The Passing of Days (excerpt)
The walls contain, but do not constrain. The walls define, but are not definitive. Walls can be redefined. Do not forget.
Atop the wall rests the tower. The tower overlooks the Harvest. It must always be seen. The tower also defines the orbit.
The tower looks backward and forward. Toward the Bloom and toward the Harvest. It is empty and it is full. Both have value, though the value changes as the orbit proceeds.
A tower may grow as stale as a crop. Best to renew it. An empty tower may falter if left empty too long. A full tower may rot if left stagnant.
Always mark the days. The days chart the path of the orbit. They may not be rushed. They proceed without permission. To lose the days risks losing the orbit. And without the orbit, labor is nothing.
As all proceeds, all will succeed.
