Day 26,660 - Images from the I Ching: Sky [The Embracing] over Wind [The Gentle] (Hexagram 33 - Temptation) --> changing towards [lines 2,4,5] --> Mountain [The Unmoving] over Mountain [The Unmoving] (Hexagram 55 - Stillness) ... Within the image of Sky over Wind, we find ourselves surrounded by a world in which creativity is seeking a place of expression ... We can be open to this creativity, allowing it to channel through us, infused with our own essence ... This is the nature of art ... It is our personally constructed interpretation of the world around us and our relationship to it, a kind of braiding of ourselves with that which we see ... Through this ensemble of expressive creatiions we allow others to experiience some facet of who we are, and the world at large is somehow synergistically richer for that ... Movement (Wind) catches our attention. It insires us to engage it, comingle with it or study it intensely ... It could be a romantic involvement, a shared business venture or an artistic collaboration ... Others cannot do this for us, nor can we do this for others. It is personal, intimate and can be profound ... Parents must remember this when it comes to their children ... They have to engage the world on their own, just as they themselves did, and continue to do ... Life for all is more enjoyable and potentially more rewarding for it ...

Stucturally, this is an interesting image because all of the lines are Yang(Seeking) elements that tend to impose a pressure to act out in some way ... The fact the the Wind, the strong thighs of the body and the spiritual depth of our innerselves here is so prominent means that this Seeking Yang energy is almost impossible to deter ... The single Yin(Embracing) line in the first position can be overwhelmed, a note to be comewhat cautious ...

The fact that there are three aging, dying Yang(Seeking) lines means that much of this Seeking energy will be dimenishing and refreshed with the Embracing Yang elements of a new image: Mountain over Mountain ... Our inner state and the state of the world around us has shifted dramatically to the more reflective, retrospective and deliberate tendencies of the ageless Mountain ... Perhaps we need to pause for a bit after the intensity of some recent experiences ... Il Matto ...
