Gary Windo autographed my NRBQ bumper sticker. He liked the little diorama I’d made in the back window. Plastic figurines, labels and explanatory notes in a little tableaux. It was at the Joyous Lake. I haven’t looked at an I Ching since before the internet was invented. But now I want to. Where are my coins, my random counters? I want to see six lines. Broken, open to the heavens. Broken, upon this earth. Solid, the earth itself. Open, the future. Closed, the present. Open, the past.

I am ready to hand over one of these rings. Sigh... .
