Day 26,660 - Images from the I Ching: Thunder [The Arousal] over Wind [The Gentle] (Hexagram 36 - Endurance) --> changing towards [lines 2,6] --> Fire [The Clinging] over Mountain [The Unmoving] (Hexagram 51 - Travel) ... In this image we are surrounded by Thunder, the image of arousal, surprise and catalyst for action ... It is quite directly associated with storms and intensity ... In the face of Thunder we can be put on edge, uncomfortable and anxious. It is natural for us to be looking for some action to take to relieve ourselves of the intensity that we may find ourselves in ... However, while the skies are alight with tempestuous atmospherics, inwardly there is the present of Wind, Wood, Spirit and Breath ... Wind likes Thunder, just as Trees and underbrush in the Forest like Rain ... Forests are natural gatherers and preservers of water, warmth and life itself ... They exhale the oxygen that we consume and serve as habitat for countless animals and plants that we depend on ... Thunder and storms outside blend with the spiritual breath within the forest that protects and sustains us ... We can endure much with circumstances that could be held in images such as this ...

Both the inner(lower) Wind and outer(upper) Thunder possess one dying line, bringing the image to Fire(outer, upper) over Mountain(lower, inner) ... A Fire raging on the side of a Mountain consumes the dry brush exposed to wind and sun at a rapid pace, traversing the mountainside quickly ... This is an image of travel, of movement, of shifting across space ... Since we are emerging from Thunder and Wind and Lightning, the moving Fire could be fueled by this time of strength ... When our stomachs are full, or our supplies are sufficient, we may be able to take advantage of an opportunity to move in a direction that we wanted to go but could never bring ourselvee to take the risk ... This could be a layoff or the breakup of a relationship or an unexpected opportunity ... Thunder and Lightning can come and go quickly ... A mountain Fire does not linger ... It is voratious ... At times we also need to be fiercly determined and swift in our reaction to quickly evolving circumstances ... Il Matto ...
