The Yi Singing




Nº11 in the series of songs, singing. Sometimes work can seem like it's going sideways into a parallel and wrong channel, and then the context catches up. Singing is a quality of voice associated with earth element in Chinese medicine; Army (Shi) is Earth over Water in the I Ching. The yi are the creative, receptive spirits of the earth and charged with singing the heart's song.
The character shows the heart below with the radical for musical note, poetry, uttered sound above. Beautiful.
