Grace

Fire lighting the mountain’s face: beauty as clarity, ornament in right measure.

Gen: still mountains — Upper trigram · Gen

Firelight plays on the mountain at dusk — beauty that reveals form rather than hiding it. Grace concerns presentation: the surface matters, and the surface is not the substance. Its counsel is ornament in service of clarity — polish the proposal, tend the appearance, honour the ceremony — while keeping weight-bearing decisions anchored in what is plain and structural. Brilliant form persuades the moment; simple substance persuades the years.

On wealth

Presentation lifts value at the margin: refine the packaging, but price and decide on the substance.
