Song of the Day for Howard Kranz
Seventh in a series of songs for Howard and me to cover.
I Ching
A reading from the I Ching (yarrow method), for inspiration:
The present is embodied in Hexagram 42 - I (Increase): There will be advantage in every movement which shall be undertaken, and it will even be advantageous to cross the great stream.
The first line, undivided, shows that it will be advantageous for its subject in his position to make a great movement. If it be greatly fortunate, no blame will be inputed to him.
The fourth line, divided, shows its subject pursuing the due course. His advice to his prince is followed. He can with advantage be relied on in such a movement as that of removing the capital.
The fifth line, undivided, shows its subject with sincere heart seeking to benefit all below. There need be no question about it, the result will be great good fortune. All below will, with sincere heart, acknowledge his goodness. The situation is shifting, and Yin (the passive feminine force) is gaining ground.

The future is embodied in Hexagram 35 - Chin (Progress): We see a prince who secures the tranquility of the people, and is presented on that account with numerous horses by the king. Three times in a day he is received at interviews.
The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram Sun (Wind), which is transforming into Li (Fire). As part of this process, penetration and following are giving way to brightness and warmth.
The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Chen (Thunder), which is transforming into K'un (Earth). As part of this process, movement, initiative, and action are giving way to docility and receptivity.
