    Short Summary

    Free

    Water drawn up through wood — the bucket from the well. What has always been there, now being reached for.

    There is a source that has been here all along — in you, in your community, in the tradition you come from. The hexagram asks you to draw from it. The well has been here before you, and it will be here after you. Its water is available to anyone who lowers the bucket.

    Bucket on the rope

    the water held in the stone;

    older than we are.
