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.

31 JulI Ching No. 63 After Completion
The Elf in Elfcroft has the sewing machine humming making functional gift bags. These gift bags are also known as shower caddies to be given to the women residents of Wheeler Mission this Christmas. I used outdoor fabric (water and mildew resistant) from www.fabricguru.com. Four outer pockets surround the center opening. 25 yards (54″width) made 75 shower caddies.
Ready for delivery
I Ching No. 64 Before Completion
The last two years we filled back packs with socks, gloves, scarves, etc. Several years before that we filled tote bags. Our choice this year are these homemade bags. Bath products to fill the shower caddies will be provided by friends and coworkers.
I read a comment that there was an error. “Before Completion” should be 63 and “After Completion” should be 64. This is not an error. Completion refers to work. The interesting concept is that work-in-process (WIP) has multiple completions. I could have chosen to show rolls of fabric for “Before” and the finished shower caddies as “After”. BOLO for a future post with the empty caddies as the “Before” and filled with gifts “After.
