Inspired by the clear and evocative 1985 translation of the I CHING,  by Kerson and Rosemary Huang - a team of a poet and physicist-poet, I kept a diary of musical interpretations of hexagrams which appeared to me when I consulted the oracle over the course of a year.HEXAGRAM 33: RETREAT (Bill Mesnik)"Form is transitory, acquiescing in the flow"I'm yielding to the circumstances, being still and letting go,open to the transformation - going with the flow.I'm gone with the flow in the grip of the tideI don't know - nobody knows if I'll see you on the flip side.What we see ain't what we get, it's not under our control - the tide surges up, then leaves us flat in the midnight coaster rollWhat's the point in making scenes, or, inscribing your little name in stone,When the tide surges up and the beach is swept clean into endless, timeless unknown?I'm gone with the tide in the grip of the flow - Whether or not I'll be purifiedwell, I just don't know.HEXAGRAM 42: INCREASE (Bill Mesnik)"The time of increase does not endure, therefore it must be utilized while it lasts."One hand strengthens the other; on the other hand, I might fall.Could you lend a hand, my brother? I don't have much, but I could lose it all.I'll follow your instructions; you seem to know the way,I played right through the harvest, now my stores are empty at the dark of the day. I heard warnings about the future, but I turned the other way,music soothed my apprehension, and my passions held sway.Now I'm looking for a harbor, and I saw your firelight.Might I bide awhile in your cabin to pass away the dampening night?HEXAGRAM 13: WATCHING (Bill Mesnik)I'm watching - watching... letting things play out in timeAlthough I'm invested in the outcome, I'm just watching, and trailing behind.In the dawn - the anxious dawn... before the pulse of the day,Should it come to pass the shadows grip you, you may not be able to have a say. We are travelers - fond travelers sharing this path for a mile,Although I may want to protect you, we'll only be together a little while.So, I'm watching, watching... letting things play out in time.although I'm invested in the outcome, I'm just watching, and trailing behind.

In this subscriber-only episode of Living the Tao (1-185), Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod continues his study of the I Ching with Hexagram 46, Pushing Upward, and Hexagram 42, Increase. Both hexagrams point toward action, but they do not describe the same kind of movement. Pushing Upward is steady ascent: small efforts, proper support, and the presence of the “great person.” Increase is sudden opportunity: thunder, wind, favorable change, and the need to act before the moment passes. Master Steenrod examines the classic pronouncements, images, and line meanings of both hexagrams, while also challenging the modern idea that success is usually achieved alone. In the I Ching, ascent requires timing, support, preparation, and responsibility toward others.

In this trailer for the subscriber episode “What Is Death?”, Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod introduces a deeper Taoist examination of life, death, fear, and return. Rather than offering a simple comfort story, this episode asks what death actually is. Master Steenrod explores life as ordered differentiation, death as movement back through chaos, and the Taoist idea of return through Pu, Hundun, Hexagram 24, and the caterpillar's transformation. The full subscriber episode also enters more advanced territory, including meditation as the loosening of fixation, the story of the self, and what happens when deep practice approaches the edge of undifferentiation.

In this subscriber-only episode of Living the Tao, Taoist Master Mikel Steenrod explores one of the most difficult and universal parts of life: waiting. Drawing from the ancient wisdom of the I Ching, Steenrod examines why nearly 28% of its hexagrams deal with waiting, delay, or obstruction in some form. Focusing on Hexagram 12 — Standstill and Hexagram 5 — Waiting, he explains the profound difference between stagnation and preparation. When is waiting a trap? When is waiting nourishment? When should you preserve your energy… and when should you prepare to cross the great water? This episode explores the symbolism of the lines, the accumulation of pressure behind change, and the Taoist understanding of timing, patience, and action. If you've ever felt blocked, uncertain, or trapped in a period of delay, this episode offers an ancient lens through which to understand what kind of waiting you're experiencing—and what to do next.
