The verse

A lone brazier scarce can raise its smoke;borrow a neighbor's wood—the flame lives on.Only coals gathered close burn warm and red;bear not the cold night holding up the sky alone.

Reading

This fortune speaks: a single fire dies alone but blazes when wood is shared. Lean on fellow travelers and complete one another; do not strain by your own strength. What comes of it rests with fate and Heaven—nothing is promised here.

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 ]
