Journey with a drop of water
in an ordinary stream on an ordinary farm.
Begin at the rusty barbed wire fence in the northeast section.
Consider tumbling, flowing,
floating, pooling, rippling,
swishing, swirling,
bank left
crashing, splashing,
bank right
movement through sunlight and shadow
embrace stones
waltz around pebbles
glide across sand
dive beneath limbs
carry fish
Emerge at the one land bridge.

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.
I Ching No. 57 Gentle penetrating wind @ Clinch Mountain
I Ching No. 58 Lake view @ Clinch Mountain overlook
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.
