鼎  Ding The Caldron

All that is visible must grow beyond itself, extend into the realm of the invisible.  Thereby it receives its true consecration and clarity and takes firm root in the  cosmic order.

-I Ching

That's the way it was, the harmony lasted incredibly long, 

there were no words that could answer the goodness of those 

two down there below, looking at him and talking to him from 

the hopscotch, because Talita had stopped in square three 

without realizing it, and Traveler had one foot in six, so that the 

only thing left to do was to move his right hand a little in a 

timid salute and stay there looking at La Maga, at Manu, telling 

himself that there was some meeting after all, even though it 

might only last just for that terribly sweet instant in which the 

best thing without any doubt at all would be to lean over just a 

little bit farther out and let himself go, paff the end . 

-Julio Cortázar, Hopscotch
