|
| 54 | ->Line 1: octave. Octave usually relates to the number 8, and it’s used in music. However Mr. |
|
| 55 | ->Preiss hints that in this case it is a proper noun. He did not give me further hints. |
|
| 56 | - |
|
| 57 | ->Line 18-20: To achieve by dauntless and inconquerable determination. |
|
| 58 | ->This part is a quote from a book, so let’s look at the dictionary of quotations again. |

| 62 | -# Gift Giver Nudge |
|
| 63 | -The Secret's official nudge of 2021. |
|
| 64 | -Not too long ago I was watching a film which featured [whirling dervishes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHjFgOfoZ7M&fbclid=IwY2xjawFdnb5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHa4mGv_sf_mZ7DnjlBOGs5_8KIDvkBjie2qd2bbCJTRTTSi2RO9-q6W_1g_aem_WyF4_p73gLbv3eYBGbvmPA) |
|
| 65 | -In the scene the Sufi has one hand pointing to the sky accepting something from God, and one hand pointed to the earth giving something back. For a brief second I was reminded of the Roanoke painting. |
|
| 66 | -The painting seems to involve parallels doesn't it? One side matching the other, but not exactly. |
|
| 67 | -Left hand accepting, right hand releasing. |
|
| 68 | -Why does the right hand have a string with nothing attached? |
|
| 69 | -Why is the left holding a watch? |
|
| 70 | -Should you add something to the right? |
|
| 71 | -Should you remove something from the left? |
|
| 72 | -Is it the reverse? |
|
| 73 | -How would you know? Maybe there are instructions in the painting. Perhaps a plus and minus sign somewhere. |
|
| 74 | -Are you looking at these paintings correctly? |
|
| 75 | -Is anyone? |
|
| 76 | -I don't remember exactly what John and Byron were going for. Maybe you can help fill in the blanks. |
|
| 77 | -Merry Christmas, see you next year. |
