We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden
~ Goethe
~ Goethe
Even when memory fails, the past remains intact. It exerts a kind of power over us. We are partly formed by all those we're descended from, crowding out the shadows. From the moment of our own conception we are subject to chance. The unreachable itches of our past can flare up unexpectedly and for no good reason.
Sometimes we just need time to reflect and find new ways to journey on.
At Ku Retreats we believe that to evolve it is essential to focus on what it is that has happened to us. “Ku” is the 18th hexagram of I Ching or Book of Changes. It represents ‘restoration’, ‘work on what has been decayed’, the review and reversal of processes. Progress may be
hindered when problems have not been dealt
with properly. They can be dismissed but
linger.
It's important to identify and address sources of any pain and anger, known in I Ching as 'crossing the great river.' It’s not an easy process but dry land awaits so that we are able to move forwards.
