Fortune
有魚臨旱池
踊躍入波濤
隔中須有望
先且慮塵労
In English
- A fish faces a pond gone dry
- it leaps and dives into the waves
- though apart, hope should remain
- but first, mind the worldly cares
- Meaning
- The poem ends by telling you to see to everyday cares first. Like a fish leaping from a drying pond into the waves, hope is still there, but small hassles close to home are worth clearing before you jump.
- What to do today
- Write down three small chores that have piled up, and finish one.
- A word from the capybara
- Bravely moved from a shallow pond to a big river.
The explanations added by each temple differ. The poems and fortunes follow an Edo-period printed edition.
