Wood growing in the
center of the land: rising.
The noble one is mild,
gradually raising what is
tiny into the tall and great.

Comments for this reading
clouds ... earth water ... rise, become themselves in the cycle of water. i live on a small rural, heavily wooded island. i am rising here, as a cloud, becoming myself, with only a moment, a breath, in my river of life. i am large, like a great, tumbling cloud. i am mild. in one month i will literally be going south, offering myself to friends. until then i will be still. the people around me will be incidental. i will be the new moon in the night sky with no reflection on the water. i will sit and watch the light change in the trees behind my house, i will write, i will smile contentedly.
