Friday Photos: I Ching No. 57 Wind and No. 58 Lake

6 Nov

There are many layers of meanings associated with I Ching.  I captured some of them on my I Ching inspiration page.  Hexagram 57 and 58 are both double trigrams for wind and lake respectively……soooo how does a wall become a good match for wind?  This particular wall located at the Clinch Mountain overlook…windy; and part of the text refers to the penetrating nature of wind….well I was fortunate get this image of shadow and wall as a vanishing point or penetrating image.

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.

The classical definition of hexagram No 5 is waiting.  The contemporary definition is attending.  I chose this photo to relate to both definitions.  Even the posture of Pat Summit’s bronze statue illustrates waiting/attending as she did on the sidelines of the University of Tennessee Lady Vols champion basketball teams.

Friday Photos: I Ching No. 12 Standstill

2 Oct

The classical translation for hexagram 12 is “standstill”.  The contemporary translation is “obstruction”.  These photo choices are more contemporary interpretation.

I'm listening.
