Temperance — Foundation Stone V
Tranquility Artifact · Jigsaw Puzzle in Tin
This is not a puzzle about moderation or denial.
It is a tranquility artifact designed to cultivate Temperance — the ability to maintain correct proportion between forces without suppressing either.
The Temperance puzzle is structured around balance in motion. Progress depends on discernment: recognizing subtle differences, adjusting placement, and allowing opposing elements to resolve into harmony. Nothing here is excessive, and nothing is withheld. The practice is precision — knowing when to add, when to pause, and when alignment has been reached.
Encased in a durable metal tin, this artifact supports careful, repeated engagement. Each session reinforces the same principle: equilibrium is not static; it is continuously maintained through attention.
Temperance is not less.
It is exactly enough.
