Great fortune
勿頭中尾見
文華須得理
禾刀自偶然
当遇非常喜
In English
- Take the top of a character, find a tail within
- learning and grace should follow reason
- grain and blade come together by chance
- and you will meet with uncommon joy
- Meaning
- Grain and blade, set side by side, make the character for profit, so the poem is a puzzle built from the shapes of writing. Under Great fortune, its advice is plain once solved: keeping things well reasoned leads toward an unexpected joy.
- What to do today
- Write down, in three short lines, the steps toward something you want to get done.
- A word from the capybara
- Even without a knack for puzzles, the good news seems to arrive on its own.
