I Ching
by Martin Burke

Return (The Turning Point)

receptive earth and arousing thunder

success and no error
it is good to have a destination

thunder in the earth-
for everything there is a time
of opening and closing

                             *

there is no need for remorse

return, and good fortune

yet repeat this and there is danger

walk with others
yet come back alone

he is noble-hearted
there will be no remorse

misfortune within, misfortune without
if this is also true for the army
then there will be disaster
nothing will move for ten years
