Reading of the day

A time for decreasing yourself in order to benefit others. Drawing this hexagram invites you to rein in private wants and to subtract with discernment, knowing when to take away and when to add.

A reflection written by Yarrow Yi, not a quotation from the classic. What, if anything, does this theme bring to your attention today?
