Hexagram 56 of the I-Ching : The Traveller




"This is a personal symbol, a personal choice , being 'the Traveller' and all. I am alone on this journey a lot of the time. Think about the symbol for that , in the I-Ching . Fire over mountains would seem to suggest possibly a volcano . A volcano is loud . A volcano causes a lot of change .

!

"But the exclamation point is also my symbol . It is the opposite of question , the opposite of constant searching frantically for the awnser it is the awnser - LOUD and CLEAR . You cannot be an INDIVIDUAL without bieng LOUD . Quiet people are never HEARD ! To live is to be loud and to be heard !! To be loud , like that volcano - you know those time must happen where you just have to shout . You do that and you will be noticed . You don't need a message to be YOURSELF . You just need YOU !

!

"But what does it mean to be the Traveller ? 'Travellers do not go somewhere, but constantly discover that they are somewhere else' is my favorite quote to awnser this question (from James P Carse-"Finite And Infinite Games" ). It fits my nature to constantly discovering something new ... an idea , a word , a poem in my head ... I am a rebellion , not QUIET , but LOUD ... also UNSEEN ! "
