Water over lake: the image of

LIMITATION.

Thus the superior man

Creates number and measure,

And examines the nature of virtue and correct conduct.

Woke up this morning at 8:00. Truth told, that is rare. I think that I can get used to it.

As you see below, today I Ching cast was Hexagram 60 which has a theme of limitations and restrictions.

Perfect timing.

But also grist for my babble mill here.

I think that the idea of restriction and limitation is anathema to most folks. As Americans, we have somehow convinced ourselves that limits don’t apply to us We bridle as soon as someone mentions that we don’t deserve everything that we desire and even worse, that our desires aren’t in stock and have no availability.

I think that I am looking forward to the restriction of my retirement.

Gotta go and buy flour to bake bread.
