The verse

The lone pine on the cliff stands proud and high,yet wind through its cold boughs leaves it to toil alone.Should vine and creeper lean and twine alongside,together they raise one canopy toward the sky.

Reading

This lot counsels against standing aloof and alone. Pine and vine, leaning each on each, cast the broader shade. Seek kindred spirits and complete one another; nothing is promised but the question of whether you will join hands.

The temple keeper adds

Neither bright nor dark. The rest of the weather, you make yourself.

[ Draw another at the temple ][ Keep a traffic omamori ]
