Well-Being becomes Inner Integrity
What this change means
Wind moves over the Lake, stirring it from within: the third, fifth and top lines change, and Well-Being becomes 61 Inner Integrity. The two judgments are in balance. Well-Being describes harmony, blessings and good company. 61 Inner Integrity says that when you're whole inside, it shows outside; you can do great things, and your truth can move others toward great undertakings. The image speaks of deliberating carefully over disputes and delaying harsh judgments. Taken together, they say that the best fruit of a good season is inner coherence. Make sure what you feel, think and do line up. When they do, you don't need force or persuasion; people sense it and respond. Watch for anything you're pretending, even to yourself. And where you have to judge others, take your time and lean toward mercy.
