Fortune
修進甚功奇
労生未得時
騰身遊碧漢
方得遇高枝
In English
- Your training advances with rare skill
- yet your efforts have not found their time
- you will leap up and roam the blue sky
- and at last find a high branch to rest on
- Meaning
- The first half is the frustration of skill that grows while its moment does not come; the second, a leap into the blue sky and a high branch to land on. The effort is not wasted, and moving once the time arrives seems soon enough.
- What to do today
- Spend five minutes longer than usual on a practice or study you keep up.
- A word from the capybara
- High branches are out of reach, so the shade under a low one will do.
The explanations added by each temple differ. The poems and fortunes follow an Edo-period printed edition.
