Day 26,648 - Images from the I Ching: Wind [The Gentle] over Fire [The Clinging] (Hexagram 21 - Family) --> changing towards [lines 1,4] --> Sky [The Seeking] over Mountain [The the Unmoving] (Hexagram 49 - Retreat) ... The essence of our collective being and existence is most powerful in the presence of the hearth, the campfire and the cooking stove ... Fire clings to us and maintains us if we are not abusive and careless ... This internal Fire is fueled by the Spiritual atmosphere that surrounds us and the trees that tower above us ... Families and communities help to keep the flames of our desires, hopes and spirits intensely active ... We need this combination of Wind and Fire ... Everything about us is constructed upon the foundations of this common warmth and energy ...


There are two dying lines in these images, both in the first positions of our inner selves and the world around us ... Wind takes on the role of the Creative Sky and Fire expands into the massive presence of the inner Mountain ... This is an image of our inner self standing its ground, insuring that any steps taken are well thought out and feasible ... There is no hurry to act here ... The inspiration of the original outer spiritual Wind expands into the Creative Seeking force of Sky ... Without some moderating force this Creative energy could plough into untested territory, perhaps taking steps that we are just not ready for ... But the Mountain within us says to "Back Off!" ... We need the ancient patience and steadfastness of the Mountain to inject the needed wisdom ... Although our inner Mountain can impede us at times, making it difficult to act in a timely fashion, there are times when that moment of reflection is more valuable than the ensuing act itself ...
