Stick Forty — Stick Forty · Guimao, the Morning Rain on New Leaves

癸卯

FavorableThe wind is with you, if you sail.

Rain before breakfast, sun by ten:
the kind of morning
gardens are designed around.

Guimao drops gentle water onto spring wood at its most receptive: nourishment perfectly timed. As a timing stick, it marks a short, kind window — the near term favours starts that need encouragement rather than endurance: the enquiry, the enrolment, the first conversation. Efforts begun in a soft season root faster than the same efforts begun in a hard one. Use the morning; it is the garden-planning kind.
