about

As the moon sets and the sun rises, darkness becomes brightness. I rode the water to the shore and then I saw a woman more beautiful than I had ever seen. I became like fire. It burned into my core.

Fire within, Fire without. An image of flames, of brightness. Fire has a clinging property. Fire is light, bright, and hot. In my copy of the I Ching this Hexagram is translated as Brightness. When things reach their extreme they alter to their opposite. This is the principal of change that makes the sequence of the I Ching logical in it's order. The I Ching is traditionally divided into two parts, the upper cannon and the lower cannon. This is the last Hexagram of the upper cannon. The upper cannon is the Tao of Heaven and the lower cannon is the Tao of humanity.

Remember that the Hexagrams are abstract and conceptual in nature. The Hexagrams represent human situations as they are broken down into the components of Yin and Yang.

After flowing with the tide it led my heart to be set on fire. The Tao led me to a woman whose brightness burned like the flame of a thousand suns.

lyrics

We'll start a fire
We'll watch it burn
Let's light this place up
Now it's our turn
We'll start a fire
We'll burn the world
Burn it to ashes
Watch it unfurl

We are on fire
We are aflame
Burning so brightly
It's all a game
You are on fire
You are a star
So shine your light down
To where we are

I'll start the fire
We'll watch it burn
I'll start the fire
Now it's our turn

We'll start a fire
We'll watch it burn
Lets light this place up
Now it's our turn
We'll start a fire
We'll burn the world
Burn it to ashes
Watch it unfurl
We are on fire
We are aflame
Burning so brightly
Its all a game
I am on fire
I am ablaze
I am a warrior
Behold my gaze

I'll start the fire
We'll watch it burn
I'll start the fire
Now its our turn
