Good Morning!

I asked Yi yesterday what the lesson is for this week and received 29 (Danger) UC. I've been receiving a lot of unchanging castings lately and have not quite realized (within) the difference, though it appears there is something different about them. I've been contemplating this hex both as it applies to my life right now as well as in general. I think I may already be in the abyss of these chasms with nothing to hold onto and that my focus ought to be on internal things. Anyway, this morning I opened up my book of Rumi poems, and the very first poem seemed so hex 29 to me. What do you think? I'm bolding the lines that stood out to me. (Also, please let me know if this post is in the wrong place).


Cry Out in Your Weakness – Rumi

A dragon was pulling a bear into its terrible mouth.

A courageous man went and rescued the bear.
There are such helpers in the world, who rush to save
anyone who cries out. Like Mercy itself,
they run toward the screaming.

And they can’t be bought off.
If you were to ask one of those, “Why did you come
so quickly?” He or she would say, “Because I heard
your helplessness.”

Where lowland is,
that’s where water goes. All medicine wants
is pain to cure.

And don’t just ask for one mercy.
Let them flood in. Let the sky open under your feet.

Take the cotton out of your ears, the cotton
of consolations, so you can hear the sphere-music. . . .

Give your weakness
to One Who Helps.


Crying out loud and weeping are great resources.
A nursing mother, all she does
is wait to hear her child.

Just a little beginning-whimper,
and she’s there.

God created the child, that is, your wanting,
so that it might cry out, so that milk might come.

Cry out! Don’t be stolid and silent
with your pain. Lament! And let the milk
of Loving flow into you.

The hard rain and wind
are ways the cloud has
to take care of us.

Be patient.
Respond to every call
that excites your spirit.

Ignore those that make you fearful
and sad, that degrade you
back toward disease and death.
