I Ching
by Martin Burke

Development (Gradual Progress)

gentle wind and keeping still

a marriage
good fortune

the superior man furthers all things

                             *

the bird nears the shore
the son is in danger but there is no blame

feasting, peace, concord
good fortune

everything nears but nothing arrives
misfortune

the bird seeks a nest

it seeks a nest
but the woman has no child

the feathers of the bird
are suitable for the sacred dance
