Hexagrams 'aint what they used to be.

Hexagrams 'aint what they used to be, and here we are talking pre-1120 B.C. It all started with the creeping awareness of some sort of movement in the world, followed by a slow flow through the universe, and then the rush of energy through history. The ancient Chinese got a taste for history and started to record it all, but, somwhere along the line, cast the 'Classic of Change' in cement. Well, not cement exactly, but on bones, the backs of tortoise shells, bamboo strips, and in the Great Books.


Who writes this stuff ? If they look like this, can we really trust them ?
Maybe we should just check-out Tom Leworthy on Blogspot. We expect the image to match the mysterious and profound content, and we expect our hexagrams to be authentic, but something else has been going on.
