your hard work is about to pay off, keep on keeping on
your heart is pure, your mind is clear, your soul devout
show your love and your love will be returned
do not let anger or jealousy get the better of your good judgement
despair is criminal
your ability to help others may not be seen by all
you are not "superman"
romance comes into your life in a very unusual sort of way
your whole family are well
there is admirable potential in every person
we are here to create, not merely to survive

23/03/16 London, Cafe Oto

you will soon discover how truly fortunate you really are
he who cannot endure the past will not live to see the future
a good home is happiness
your heart is pure, your mind is clear, your soul devout
your whole family are well
may life throw you a pleasant curve
your home is a pleasant place
your hard work is about to pay off, keep on keeping on

24/03/16 London, Cafe Oto

despair is criminal
show your love and your love will be returned
you are not "superman"
watch your relations with other people carefully
may life throw you a pleasant curve
your heart is pure, your mind is clear, your soul devout
nature makes us for ourselves
you will soon discover how truly fortunate you really are
your hard work is about to pay off, keep on keeping on
a merry heart makes a cheerful countenance
