i ching wisdom: “Ascending”
the weak ascend
as the symbol of a small tree
grows upwards from a hilltop
one must have faith in spiritual matters
the yielding push upward gently and with devotion
as wood growing within the earth from seeds
the heaping of small things, steadily,
with imperceptible progress
yields gradual and invisible growth
sincerity is to bring forth offerings,
however humble or meager
