Poem: Changes 27/Taking Care

1
Pay heed to nourishment
And with what a person seeks
To fill their own mouth—

2
To know what anyone is like
Observe how they bestow love and mercy
And what part of their nature

They nurture
A person of goodness takes care
In order to take care of others

3
At the foot of the mountain
Thunder—
An image of nourishment

Thunder and lightning
Feed into the earth
And charge it like Frankenstein's monster

4
You let the magic turtle go
And train your sharp eyes
Like a tiger with a craving

5
Awareness of danger
Brings good fortune
As you cross the great water.
