Weights

The tree underground is heavy, the leaves flutter lightly.
The ocean doesn't move, the wind and sun create currents and waves.

So the wise, when tired and travel worn,
Hold onto their bags, eat well, take care of their feet.
They notice the beauty, but consult the map,
Stay unruffled and calm.

Don't let anyone control anything,
If they can't discipline themselves.
Get caught up in changing fashion,
And lose your footing.
Be restless and unsatisfied,
You will never find your way.

Finger (O.E. finger). the old names for the fingers are: -
O.E. thuma, the thumb.
Towcher (the finger that touches), foreman, or pointer. This was called by the Anglo-Saxons the scite-finger, i.e. the shooting finger, and is now commonly known as the index finger, because it is the one used in pointing.
Long-man or long finger.
Lech-man or ring finger. The former means "medical finger," and the latter is a Roman expression, "digitis annularis." Called by the Anglo-Saxons the gold-finger. This finger between the long and little finger was used by the Romans as a ring-finger, from the belief that a nerve ran through it to the heart. Hence the Greeks and Romans used to call it medical finger, and used it for stirring mixtures, under the notion that nothing noxious could touch it without its giving instant warning to the heart. It is still a general notion in parts of England that it is bad to rub salve or scratch the skin with any but the ring finger.

At last he put on her medical finger a pretty, handsome gold ring, whereinto was enchased a precious toadstone of Beausse, - RABELAIS: Pantagruel, III,xviii.

Little-man or little finger. Called by the Anglo-Saxons the ear-finger, because it can, from its diminutive size, be most easily introduced into the orifice of the ear.
The fingers each had their special significance in alchemy, and Ben Jonson says -
The thumb, in chriomancy, we give to Venus;
The fore-finger to Jove; the midst to Saturn;
The ring to Sol; the least to Mercury.
Alchemist,I,ii.
