WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE

 

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE

                                  --for K. L. P., 18

      --Before long, a pair of dragons emerged from Bright-Prosperity Mountain, Root Breath and Lady She-Voice. David Hinton, I Ching: The Book of Change

You had a blister on your heel

and we were walking in Seattle

after we left the museum.

You asked, Grandpa, are you lost?

You knew then, K. You know now.

Toss the 3 coins 6 times. Four possible outcomes.

What’s your question? This is the Year of the Dragon.

So many parts to this birthday. The purse

your grandma quilted can’t be told

in a single poem. Pockets, jewelry everywhere.

Grandma’s been in the jewel box you loved

sneaking into all morning. But this dragon

at the creation of the world. When you were

three I began collecting Katie Coins, silver,

that would help you explore creation.

I’ll show them to you now. This year

as dragon, your visions take center stage:

charismatic, smart, strong and ambitious.

Fierce, too. (There’s a Tiger coin you’ve never

seen. It’s yours.) New facets of self, so many

ways to go. Build your hexagram

from the bottom to the top. Things will come

into play as the year goes on, even career dreams.

As Lady-She-Voice, Katie, you control wind and rain.
