In the same way, a ball will not stop rolling  Until it reaches the bottom of a hill, chi or Energy will pass by a home situated midway down an incline. Moreover, leaving a home situated in the middle of a steep slope Increases the visual presence of a home midway up a hill. Eyes should be riveted on the home, not the hill, by form, color, or light.
