Celebrate Mindfully

There is a connection to the spirits through drinking spirits. This is not a mistake. Soak your head. There is a connection to the spirits in letting go of what is past. You have a great connection but start slowly. Let yourself be lured on. Difficulties are going, praise and ease are coming. Pull back and join with others and you will capture the force opposing your plans and desires. There is nothing that will not benefit. These goings and comings release the energy now bound up in the past. Cooperate with the on-going process of change.

上九, 有孚于飮酒, 无咎, 濡其首, 有孚失是.

There is drinking of wine In genuine confidence. No blame. But if one wets his head, He loses it, in truth. ##### Comments Before completion, at the dawning of the new time, friends foregather in an atmosphere of mutual trust, and the time of waiting is passed in conviviality. Since the new era is hard on the threshold, there is no blame in this. But one must be careful in all this to keep within proper bounds. If in his exuberance a man gets drunk, he forfeits the favorableness of the situation through his intemperance.
