Keeping Still–Bound–Mountain Over Mountain

Quiescent water begets peace. Clear your mind and meditate over the stillness of the water. Without outside forces, the quiet water makes no discernible change, but under its tranquil surface is a welling spring. New thoughts are springing up from old worn out ways of thinking. You must remain still while quietly reflecting on your new visions. Mountain over mountain is an insurmountable force of stability. You cannot move a mountain or place one on top of the other, but the fixed location without distraction allows the mind to wander into new territory. Contemplate the meaning of the message. In the center of the wheel there is stillness.
