Sixty-First Hexagram
The gentle Wind ripples
the Lake's surface:
The Superior Person
finds common ground
between points of contention,
wearing away rigid perspectives
that would lead to fatal error.
Pigs and fishes.
You may cross to the far shore.
Great fortune
if you stay on course.

Changing Lines
Line Six
This cock's crow
pierces to Heaven.
A warning best heeded.
Line Five
Finding himself,
his serene inner flame
radiates warmth
that draws others near.
He does not Do;
he just Is.
Line Four
Just before the moon
waxes full,
One horse
breaks from the harness,
and its mate remains.
It is as it should be.
Line Three
True companions
share their fate.
One beats the drum,
one grows silent.
One weeps,
one sings.
Line Two
A crane calls from the shade
and her young
answer with love.
My cup of life
is filled to the brim.
Come share it with me.
Line One
The wading heron
releases all desire,
so that a passing fish
will reward him with lunch.
