In this barcode the yielding lines divide
in columns neatly stacked, side-by-side.
"It is not good for Yang to continue alone."
God made a helper for him from his rib bone.
So Creative's solid lines won't be lonely
God made Receptive with broken lines only.
Out of the solid ribs of Yang, The Creative,
God fashioned feminine Yin, The Receptive.
The Receptive represents our Mother Earth
who joins with Heaven to give life birth.
Yin does not oppose Yang but compliments it.
She is always devoted and never resents it.
But in trying to be equal to The Creative...
Both then lose the way with evil productive.
One must be cool and objective in this hour
lest factions and bias make relations sour.
So it is that the sage must take great care
to be as gently devoted as the strong mare.
This apparent duality represents coexistence
of the spiritual world and the world of sense.
Between Heaven & Nature. Slave & Master.
Between Father and Son. Prince and Minister.
Nature's richness is its' power to nurture
giving all things their beauty and splendor.
Its magnificence lay in its power to give.
The Receptive prospers all things that live.
Thus the sage must conform to the situation
for Receptive is not an independent position.
With breadth of character. Bearing everything.
With help of friends... one keeps endeavoring.
Meeting Fate with an attitude of acceptance
you will be sure to find the proper guidance.
