Notes About The Poem

Yijing Apprentice - Introduction

My name is Stella, the Yijing apprentice.
  I'm always studying Yijing.
My master is Luna, who gives me ways to practice
  She has the splendid skill of teaching.

She sometimes said
"Continue even little by little,
the important thing is advancing your title."
And she always patted my head.

One day she also said
"Do not try beyond your capacity"
"Always keep highest of your dignity"
And again she patted my head.

Yijing is an ancient book of change
Also known as a book of oracle and philosophy
It tells us about things for all range
And we can find much anthroposophy.

But I simply like it because it is fun
Reading books, listening to master's lectures,
Meeting people, finding the wisdom of traditional culture,
And the actual exercise of divination I've done

Oh, those Unforgettable days !
I never lose you even in my hardest ways

And ...


"Stella, last sentence, you look like a person of old age"
   my master read my writing and said
  "It's good for me.", I replied nodding my head
"Because, I want to be a matured sage"

Yes, it's my dream to become a Yijing master !!
