Impotant notice:

 

The picture on the left is the folding map for the so called "qudrant folding" of the steps #33-38.

 

If you will be puzzled at those steps, you can come back to this folding map and apply four mountain folds.

 

Then you will get the step 40 right away.

 

By studying this mountain-folding on the four blue dotted dash-lines, you can figure out what the alignment of the negative-y and x axes really mean.

Turn the paper the over.

 

Now, the paper has four quadrants.

Blank Joy



She who did not come, wasn't she determined
nonetheless to organize and decorate my heart?
If we had to exist to become the one we love,
what would the heart have to create?

Lovely joy left blank, perhaps you are
the center of all my labors and my loves.
If I've wept for you so much, it's because
I preferred you among so many outlined joys.


Poem by Ainer Maria Rilke
