Day 26,665 - Images from the I Ching: Wind [The Gentle] over Fire [The Clinging] (Hexagram 21 - Family) --> no changing lines ... Today, the day after our time of gathering we encounter Wind over Fire ... Wind expresses the concerns of spirit, community and the sharing of breath ... Community, Spirit and Sharing of breath takes place around the Fire, this time an inner, deep, personal Fire ... This Clinging Fire, the synergistic cohesion of family, community and region occurs in a place of intimacy and stories ... Stories are told with breath and the stories bring to mind the times and circumstances that bind a family and community together ... The sparks from the Fire and the reflected glow of faces lost in the rapture of telling and hearing are the substance of family and community ... This unifying force is witnessed by trees as their branches flow with the external winds and the oxygen exhaled by the trees themselves ... We should thank the trees for both their witness and their shared breath ... We should also thank those who share the Fire, the hearth and even the sun, for we all, together, benefit from the harvest and seasons that follow the sun ...

To push someone away from the fire; to eliminate their shadow from the flickering cinders of the flames; to ignore them as they absorb the air and warmth is the same as putting out the Fire and blocking the Wind ... We can do these things easily enough, but the tragic loss of connection with our collective and individual spiritual flames is a kind of homicide, for we all die in part when even a single breath dissipates into the nightime air ... Always make room for presence of another, for the hearth and the campfire spread their warmth and cinders by the Wind, like the forest spreads its limbs, roots and leaves, touching, dancing, protecting ...
