Friday photo: I Ching No. 56 Wanderer
21 Aug
Travel from Zürich
What a blessing to have spacious accommodations after a red-eye flight!
I Ching No. 56 discusses “The Wanderer”. The contemporary translation is travel.
Friday Photo: I Ching No. 1
14 Aug
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.
Happy Cat!

Eve is not happy.
She thinks wearing a shawl makes her an old lady.
We have had fresh catnip all season….sprigs upstairs and downstairs.
Life is good.

They have been very busy over the years adding fabric options. This is the short list: Cotton ultra, Satin 100% polyester, Performance knits, Jersey, Light weight canvas, Twill, Faux suede…the latest product introduction is Sport Lycra.
They also offer opportunities to create custom wall paper and gift wrap.
What would look good in “bark”?
Friday Photo: I Ching No. 8 Grouping
24 Jul
Grouping
Update: A photographer’s dilemma_finding a theme for a photo or a photo for a theme.
This photo was in need of a theme. It has been brought to my attention the classical translation for I Ching hexagram no. 8 is “holding together”. To prepare this series of photographs, I went to the internet for a quick list of translations. No. 8 is also translated “joining”. From there, “grouping” was included.
Although I like this illustration for “grouping”, it does not work for “holding together”. A future post will attempt illustrating “holding together”.
