The verse

The long wind crosses ten thousand miles in silence,yet only when it brushes your face do you know its sincerity.Let no tall house draw curtains to shut it out;open the south window yourself, and let the wind move through.

Reading

This fortune counsels you not to wait behind a curtain, but to open the window yourself and meet what comes with sincerity. The wind passes unannounced; only those who face it know its heart. No outcome is promised—ask only of the truth in how you greet others.

The temple keeper adds

A kind sign. The god nodded — small, but real.
