Day 26,682 - Images from the I Ching: Water [The Abyss] over Sky [The Seeking] (Hexagram 06 - Waiting) --> changing towards [line 1,2,3,5] --> Earth [The Embracing] over Earth [The Embracing] (Hexagram 64 - Nature) ... The first image is water in the Sky ... In other words, clouds ... Clouds slowly pass over us with the promise (or fear) or rain (storms) ... Water is the most prominent substance in our Universe of the living ... on Earth, the Creation ... we are made up primarily of water ... 70% of the Earth itself is covered by water ... We can't live long without it and will die if we don't have access to it readily ... This need instills within us a high level of anxiety about its presence and/or absence ... Clouds are a promise of its presence, for it is from clouds that water will come ... Without storms, underground acquifers, springs, wells, rivers, streams, lakes and even seas would go dry and the communities that depend on them would either die or have to move, searching for it ... It is no wonder that clouds attract our attention and spark comment and conversation: "looks like rain", "I think there's a storm coming", "my, those clouds look ominous" ... It is interesting that this phenomenon upon which we are so dependent is also the bringer of stress, tragedy and change as rivers overflow, blizzards blanket the countryside, hurricanes hit land and flash floods change lives in an instant ... So waiting is something that we engage when we see the presence of clouds and speculate about the impact to come ...

This particular image is also full of change ... Four of the lines, all Yang(Seeking) lines, are old and dying ... As a matter of fact, _all_ of the Yang(Seeking) lines are dying, leaving us with the Earth itself, the most substantive of all images, for it is literally the embodiment of our existence ... From blizzards and floods come renewal as the water seeps into the ground, becoming the nourishment of all that lives on the earth ... Rest assured that all change resulting from the arrival of clouds, storms and water in all of its forms will play some role in pushing our lives forward, whether we want it to or not ... Welcome the rain, embrace the snow prepare for the day after, for everything may be different than we might expect ... Il Matto ...
