On a weekend walk, I looked up to the sky.
The clouds seemed to be forming Hexagram 11 of the Yi Jing( I Ching ) - The Wilhelm Baynes translation of Hexagram 11, 泰, is
PEACE. The small departs,
The great approaches.
Good fortune. Success.

A Ming dynasty painting (attributed to Qiu Ying) of the magical animal qilin, giving a Jade Book to the mother of Confucius at his birth. The book purportedly said the baby would become "the king of virtue". Qilin appear rarely and were believed to manifest at the birth of a sage.
