Fortune
更望身前立
何期在晩成
若過重山去
財禄自相迎
In English
- You hope to stand out at the front
- who would think success comes late?
- if you cross the many mountains
- rewards will come out to greet you
- Meaning
- The rewards come out to greet you, but only once the layered mountains are behind you. You may want to get ahead fast, but this is luck that ripens late, so steady work at an unhurried pace fits it best.
- What to do today
- Choose one slow, long task and put ten minutes into it as the day's share.
- A word from the capybara
- Walking slowly still gets over the mountain in the end.
The explanations added by each temple differ. The poems and fortunes follow an Edo-period printed edition.
