To Juan at the Winter Solstice
The Turning Point
Hexagram 24 – I Ching
Judgment
Return. Success. Going out and coming in without error. Friends come without blame. To and fro goes the way. On the seventh day comes return. There is advantage in choosing one’s path
The Image
Thunder within the earth: The Turning Point. Thus the kings of antiquity closed the passes at the time of solstice. Merchants and strangers did not go about, and the ruler did not travel through the provinces.

Amazing photo… just beautiful. The judgement words are a prayer of goodness. Who is Juan? If it’s ok to ask. xoxo
