|
| 31 | +| Pass two friends of octave |
|
| 32 | +| In December |
|
| 33 | +| Ride the man of oz |
|
| 34 | +| To the land near the window |
|
| 35 | +| There's a road that leads to |
|
| 36 | +| Dark forest |
|
| 37 | +| Where white is in color |
|
| 38 | +| With two maps |
|
| 39 | +| After circle and square |
|
| 40 | +| In July and August |
|
| 41 | +| A path beckons |
|
| 42 | +| To mica and driftwood |
|
| 43 | +| Under that |
|
| 44 | +| Which may be last touched |
|
| 45 | +| Or first seen standing |
|
| 46 | +| Look north at the wing |
|
| 47 | +| And dig |
|
| 48 | +| To achieve |
|
| 49 | +| By dauntless and inconquerable |
|
| 50 | +| Determination |
|
| 51 | +| Your goal. |

|
| 53 | +# Japanese Hint |
|
| 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. |
