returning
coming back
beginning again, beginning anew
the
first light after the dark night
the first life lying under the deep
snow of winter
the solstice, heralding the coldest months
and
the beginning of shorter days, so easy to miss
in the bitter
cold
From our perspective of starting with nothing this represents the first something entering into the void. It is the first word, the first light, the first thought, the first will of God on the formless, the first use of the receptive which can support all things. Returning makes less sense in this context, but starting and conceiving and the beginnings of change apply. On an otherwise uniform circle one can only navigate by arbitrarily setting a mark for reference. Returning is that first mark, from which we can measure off the degrees of the circle...or the remaining 126 hexagrams of the cycle. Where Kun is zero, Fu is one, the first one, the primal one, weakest in that it is unsupported against five lines of zeroemtpyreceiving but strongest in that it can exists thus unsupported despite its solitude. And there really is no opposition; the six yin lines of Kun are thirsty to receive this first line of yang on the way to building Qian in 62 more days. The spirit has just begun to wax. Soon it will change.
