Book of Changes: Hexagram 29 (The Chasm)

The watery abyss is dangerous, but danger is the route to opportunity.  You just have to step carefully to keep from falling in.  This means slow progress toward the objective.

Hard to describe this image.  Lots of shiny blue and gold, the top is a haze of rose color.

Book of Changes: Hexagram 23 (Fracture)

This inauspicious hexagram nevertheless signifies a trend that we've all sometimes faced:  the period when the earth underneath your feet cracks and you feel the ground shifting underneath them.  The secret of survival, which the I Ching is there to help you achieve, is to remember that even when things do fall apart, they eventually settle down again, though generally in a new configuration.  The secret is to be able to brace yourself and maintain your dignity/aplomb/integrity as well as you can till you find your footing again.  Bad periods, like every other sort, eventually pass.  To avoid sinking, you've got to accept where you are and work to keep your balance.

A hard lesson for us westerners----but an important one.

A humble tribute.  Flying objects with a complex diaper pattern: blue on blue on gold.  The background is black with blue dots.  Shiny, like metal.  Retro, yet futuristic.

Book of Changes: Hexagram 8 (Unity, Adherence)

A raised square with a central four-pointed star.   The theme is balanced connection, adherence, a conjunction of like minds.  I made two versions of this image.

The first is in shades of bright blue, gold, and blue-grey,embellished with periwinkle blue, rose, and gold, with a background in silver and aqua.  The square is set against a background of flowers in the same colors.
