Thanks to all who sent me the birthday wishes for my 21st. I had a great time and you'll get the complete story once the proper pics are uploaded. I thought I'd see what the 21st Hexagram in the I Ching would say regarding my birthday - remarkably on target considering my handle is of a kid biting down on a lemon.
Hexagram 21
21. Biting Through
This hexagram represents an open mouth (cf. hexagram 27) with an obstruction (in the fourth place) between the teeth. As a result the lips cannot meet. To bring them together one must bite energetically through the obstacle. Since the hexagram is made up of the trigrams for thunder and for lightning, it indicates how obstacles are forcibly removed in nature. Energetic biting through overcomes the obstacle that prevents joining of the lips; the storm with its thunder and lightning overcomes the disturbing tension in nature.
ps. Calgarians, et al please take no offense, but I keep get re-drawn into this debacle by others and myself and I think I need some distance from it all.
