Good people do good things that help others, and they avoid doing bad things. Simple. But while our actions certainly have consequences, today our inactions have far greater and far graver consequences.

As we throw the coins and dig into the hexagrams that the I Ching provides, more questions are revealed and more resistance is dissolved. Sometimes gentle, sometimes sharp, generally true.
