Today is 己巳 — the Xian hexagram rules. A mountain holding a lake. Heartfelt resonance.
I was standing at the market this morning, watching a woman hold two apples in her hands. She turned each one over slowly, feeling for soft spots, then put one back and dropped the other into her bag. It took maybe fifteen seconds. Later I thought about how we make choices all day. Some are small, like which apple to buy. Some take longer. We weigh things, check for flaws, wonder if something better might be around the corner. But eventually we have to pick one and move on. The woman walked away without looking back at the apple she left behind. She had made her decision. That seemed enough.
Thu — good energy to take initiative.
Stay steady. Go at your own pace.
Rest is wisdom today. Postpone big decisions.
