Stick Forty-Five — Stick Forty-Five · Wushen, the Road Through the Mountains

戊申

FavorableThe wind is with you, if you sail.

Whoever cut this road
is long past thanking.
Walk it well; leave it wider.

Wushen lays a made road across mountain earth: infrastructure inherited, passage earned by others. This stick reads material life in terms of the paths already cut — the institutions, tools and systems that make effort travel further than it could alone. The favourable counsel is to use them fully and without embarrassment: the course, the platform, the established route. Then leave the road slightly wider for whoever walks behind.
