Gathering with Equals becomes Success in Small Matters
What this change means
Thunder over a mountain: three lines move, and the confident fellowship becomes a bird that should fly low. 13 Gathering with Equals affirms kindred people, mutual trust, and support for big, innovative projects. 62 Success in Small Matters says this is a time for small achievements, and that reaching beyond your present means will waste effort. In balance, the group is genuine, but its scope should be modest right now. Pick tasks you can actually finish together. Don't overextend the alliance with promises it can't keep. Small, careful steps, done with a bit more care and reverence than usual, let you stay in step with the moment. Larger ambitions can wait for their time; for now, being humble about scale protects the community's trust.
