The gorge at Neuschwanstein Castle, Bavaria 2012 (from the bridge above)

The concept is water flowing without interruption (in spite of obstacles) and reaches its destination…sounds like success to me.

Friday Photo: I Ching No. 7 The Army

23 Oct

The classical interpretation for No. 7 is “The Army” as in stored military strength stored up in the people.  The contemporary translation is “leading”.  I chose this photo to represent both translations.

Friday Photo: I Ching No. 1

Shrine Room, Indiana War Memorial

Shrine Room, Indiana War Memorial

The contemporary translation of the first hexagram is “force” (or creative)…for that I have a photo of a catapult on the grounds of the Tower of London, which misses the intention.  Getting back to the early translations, this photo in the Shrine Room feels more like “heaven above heaven” based upon the paired trigrams which make hexagram No. 1.

Fun fact:  To take this photo I laid on a “cool” marble slab bench.

Another I Ching inspired post.  Sprouting is also related to “difficulty with beginning”.
