Temperance

Temperance

As above so below,

as within so without.

To know moderation

is to live without doubt.

Mind meets a body

to know power and grace

just as Heaven meets Earth

through both time and space.

Fact is one thing

and fiction quite another,

but the “truth" is yet different

made by and for each other.

Temperance is about balance,

moderation, and patience. She is

depicted with wings to illustrate her

elevated intellect as well as the body ofa

tiger, demonstrating the strength in

restraint and moderation.While

Temperance understands that there is

more than what lies in the physical

realm, corporeal reality and logical

pragmatism are not to be discounted.

The shadow of Temperance is

imbalance and excess,trading instant

gratification for lasting happiness.
