Heaven
is in everything:
follow the light, hide in the
cloudiness and begin
in what is.

how long can a phantom-like body last?
Don’t
seek fame or
Just pass this life as is, according to
circumstances. When the breath is gone, who is in
charge? After the death of the body, there is only an empty
name. When your clothes are worn, repair them over and
over; when you have no food, work to provide. How
long can a phantom-like body last? Would you
increase your ignorance for the sake
of its idle concerns?
an outpouring of benevolent energy
to the surfers who saved my life
If you are alert to the Creative,
you will meet with good
fortune now.
This hexagram signals a time when the fundamental creative power of the universe is available to you. An unrestricted outpouring of benevolent energy from the heavens makes possible profound progress for those who are conscientiously following proper principles.
Frantic activity is not in order. Your responsibility instead is to be open and receptive to the Higher Power, allowing it to guide your actions. By allowing inferior thoughts and habits to pass away, you make room for an expansion of your superior qualities, which leads inevitably to good fortune.
In your conduct with others, embody tolerance, reticence, and gentleness. Strive to meet others halfway in every situation. To overextend yourself, or require that of another, is to create an undesirable imbalance.
Your attitude toward the Sage is most important. Alertness and receptiveness are paramount. To receive the powerful assistance of the Creative, remain humble, patient, accepting, and responsive. Careful attention to truth brings vast rewards at this time.

tao is like streams flowing to the sea
The primal eternal Tao
is an unnameable simplicity.
Though small, there is nothing
under all of heaven that
can subjugate it.
If a leader abides by it,
all beings are naturally
drawn to him.
Heaven and
earth come together
in harmony and sweet rain falls
everywhere. People cooperate
voluntarily, without any
instruction.

is like streams flowing

to practice wholeheartedly
Don’t be concerned
with who is wise and who is stupid.
Do not discriminate the sharp from the dull.
To practice whole-heartedly is the true endeavor of the way.
Practice-realization is not defiled with specialness;
it is a matter for every day.
Be the same
all the way through:
quiet, still, at home. In the
absence of mind, all phenomena
can be seen for what they
are — empty. This is
freedom.
