Changing and Moving, It Does Not Stay
Imagining two lives split by one small chance, how are we to accept fate?
Changing and moving, it does not stay in one place; it flows through the six directions, rising and falling with no fixed course.
The I Ching said change does not stay in one place but flows all around, rising and falling with no fixed course.
📝The Classic Answers
The I Ching said change does not stay in one place but flows all around, rising and falling with no fixed course. I read this as an answer to imagining forks in the road. Even when a life seems split into two utterly different branches by the split-second chance of a door closing or opening, change is by nature a flow whose rises and falls are not fixed, so either path winds on and continues. There is no need to grieve the life behind the missed door, nor to treat the chosen path as absolute fate. Either way, life ceaselessly changes and cuts its own course. Rather than regretting the road not taken, I choose to make the next bend upon this road now flowing.
