Day 26,653 - Images from the I Ching: Lake [The Joyous] over Earth [The Embracing] (Hexagram 58 - Assembling) --> changing towards [lines 4,5] --> Earth [The Embracing] over Earth [The Embracing] (Hexagram 64 - Nature) ... Once again we encounter a sequence that finishes with the centering presence of the Earth ... This time the images begin with the external Joyous Lake, that expressive component of our existence: our language, our emotions, our strong desire to communicate, to try and make ourselves understood ... The Italians have an interesting way of saying this, "Fammi capire", which literally means "make me understand". Our Lake, that Lake which swirls restlessly within us, by its very nature drives us to at least try to be understood, whether or not we are effective at doing that ... This is where the inner Earth that is shown within this initial image can help ... The Earth centers us, gives us that solid foundation from which to speak, but in this case, the Lake is surrounding us and we could be overwhelmed with a cacophony of voices trying to convince us that each of them needs to be understood by us. Earth, though ... our inner Earth ... can help us to not try and react to each and every one of those voices vying for our attention, but rather to let the inner terrain or our inner Earth channel those voices into places where they can fall on fertile ground and grow, nourishing both us and those around us ...

Two Yang(Seeking) lines are dying in this image. They give rise to young Yin(Embracing) lines, which will move the outer Lake to the Earth ... so, allowing our inner earth to calmly channel the miriad voices around us can lead to substantive resolution to the complexity and confusion that inundates us ...
