The other day I was at a coffee shop pondering life and the i-ching. Suddenly I found myself surrounded by people that were obviously from different organic fellowships than I. In other words people I do not exactly relate to, or people that have life-styles different than my own. I began thinking about hex 8, a specific line in the judgement which reads, "If a Man has recognized the neccessity for union and does not feel strong enough to act as its center, it is his duty to become a member of some other organic fellowship."

A perfect opportunity manifested itself for me to be friendly and engage in conversation. I added a comment to their conversation and laughter. No one in the group responded or even acknowledged that I said anything. I laughed to myself having just been thinking about the above quote. A few minutes passed, I got up and left, a short time later I bumped into a circle of friends that I hadn't seen for awhile. I knew then how fortuitous it can be to follow the flow of the i-ching.

I love it when that happens.
