For some reason I had to copy and paste the link but there it is! I thank you for posting that but for sure that will be way over HawaiianKush's head.
I started to read it but it made me all too aware of how little coffee I have had this morning but read it I shall! You know I love that stuff! I was given an excellent version of the I Ching by my previous Yin Fu Bagua Chang teacher. Great and profound style of Kung Fu but very difficult to find a real teacher but it is a part of the journey...
Thanks again for posting!

that's just weird.....
I just copied and pasted and went to the page and re copied it and re pasted it...
and when I previewed it before re posting it was a clickable blue link.... but once posted it was just black writing.....I dunno
I think its a job for Cann Mann...... to the rescue

I'm leading you? I thought you were leading me! Trouble with the whole light thing is you can't know it unless you know the dark too. Do you know this one...
Only in silence the word
Only in dark the light
Only in dying life
Bright the Hawks flight on the empty sky

NSEW I have looked several times and haven't commented because I am still soaking it in! That may be other folks deal as well. Funny how simple things can send my brain on a complicated trip!

Ohh it's all good....just a little POKE to stir the fire is all......
IMHO it is something to be read every day until it is recite-able by heart....
then you are on the path....
The master say's
"The good man tries to proceed according to the right path, but when he has gone halfway, he abandons it. I am not able so to stop.
