Hexagram Twelve, Pi / Standstill

The Image of Heaven Over Earth

The flower of creation dies and
I fall from peace
Into stagnation.

Yet …
I am so much a part of
This experience I cannot see.
In the blackness of
Transformation
I stand still.

This natural process follows
The decay of the
Product of union.
I die to the world
And go inward.
I am numb. I am a shadow.
I am hidden and confused.
I am unconscious
And see no light.
It would help me at this time
To know that
I am a seed
At the beginning
Of a new awakening.
