I Ching Hexagram


Three coins tossed at once; each coin is given a value of 2 or 3, depending upon whether it is tails or heads, respectively. Six such tosses make the hexagram. Some fortune-tellers use an empty tortoise shell to shake the coins in before throwing them on a dish or plate.

Deliverance ---

over there..>
lost time leaking away

collapse not into temptation
grant me/us peaceful solitude 
deliver us/me from erratum
inert/confined/lost
entangled in a weary knot
buried in dusty debris
suffocated by icy cobwebs
burned & frozen
begging for deliverance
longing for liberation
yearning to be untangled
thunder over water
deliverance?

lost life leaking into the past
<..over here

Everything Is Everything

Ancient ones present me the wisdom
Allow me be influenced by the intuitive I Ching
Fall for nothing, stand for something
I value myself too much just to be someone's fling
Always portrayed an instinct to do the right thing
Gift me with sapphire instead of a diamond ring
In the 80’s my shoes had the fat shoestrings

Miyamoto Musashi taught me

Ching-A-Ling

An eternal optimist I am, one day closer to spring
Hey, it ain't a lie, always look on the bright side of things
Could be a lot worse
Could be riding in a hearse
Little things count like the sound in your pocket of ching-a-ling

Cha-Ching

Hello,
hold the phone
My girl Friday is here,
and the eagle has flown
Got an increase in my cash flow;
now I can do some things,
the weekend's here, lots of places to go
First I got to swing by my buddy's house,
find out what's coming in, what's going out
I'm holding all the cards,
got my hand on the kitty
Time to get

Cash-Cha-Ching

The deceitfulness of money

Lures people in
Like a prostitute lures men

It appears as a best friend

But on its shoulder is
Disrespect, arrogance, injustice 
And don’t forget it doesn’t lend

It’s selfish an avaricious
As it shows off its richness

It trades its denomination for
Big houses, big cars, trips and vacations
And power
Which has no patience

It doesn’t wait
It doesn’t sleep

It thinks

Who will

Christianity and I Ching

Good and evil exist like
Two sides of an arrowhead
Like crime and punishment
Mutually support independent industries
A man divided is never whole
Nuclear fascination, molecular fireworks
The atom split, armaments deferred 
Duality rings
Like chains waiting to be broken
Releasing man
Into spiritual adulthood
