Invision

However in these last few years that I have been alone, I have been offering myself to various candidates of my own making: no woman seems to want me.

So I told her I had thrown the I Ching on her and it was as good as it gets. "I don't know anything about the I Ching", she said. "It's a book of wisdom and fortune telling". So I explained the basics with diagrams and code signification which I drew on note paper I carry. The I Ching tells the future I said, and it is never wrong from my experience of forty years. I explained a bit about the lines. But how do you interpret it? It's a book. You throw the lines with coins and then you read from the book the commentary on it. I would have to show you the book. I wrote down my phone number and gave it to her. If you want me to show you the book, give me a call and come over. I had been wanting to give her my phone number but hadn't - expecting to see her soon again, but didn't. What did I have to offer her? I had the future. I had the code to the future in solid and broken lines. I had a way to get her over to my house. "Come up to my room and see my pictures". Then I could show her the situation. And she said, "Why would I want to know the future?"

Well there it was. If I was to be her future, she didn't want to know it. And that is what it is to give myself. It is the future and a definitive one.
