Today's I Ching for M. C. Escher

The yarrow have been drawn....

	The present is embodied in Hexagram 48 - Ching (The Well): We think of how the site of a town may be changed, while the fashion of its wells undergoes no change. The water of a well never disappears but never receives any great increase, and those who come and those who go can draw and enjoy the benefit. If the drawing has nearly been accomplished, but before the rope has quite reached the water the bucket is broken, this is evil.
	The first (bottommost) line, divided, shows a well so muddy that men will not drink of it, or an old well to which neither birds nor other creatures resort.
	The second line, undivided, shows a well from which by a hole the water escapes and flows away to the shrimps and such small creatures among the grass, or one the water of which leaks away from a broken basket.
	The situation is shifting, but neither Yin (the passive feminine force) nor Yang (the active masculine force) is gaining ground.
	The future is embodied in Hexagram 63 - Chi Chi (After Completion): We see progress and success in small matters. There will be advantage in being firm and correct. There has been good fortune in the beginning, but there may be disorder in the end.
	The things most apparent, those above and in front, are embodied by the upper trigram K'an (Water), which represents danger and the unknown.
	The things least apparent, those below and behind, are embodied by the lower trigram Sun (Wind), which is transforming into Li (Fire). As part of this process, penetration and following are giving way to brightness and warmth.
