Passion becomes Gathering with Equals
What this change means
Fire under Heaven, a light that brings people together: the first, third, fifth and top lines move. In 13 Gathering with Equals, the unmoved second and fourth lines give the advice. The second warns that joining with people who try to exclude others will keep projects from moving forward. The fourth offers hope: despite differences, if you reach agreements, trust can come back little by little. For Passion, which already asks you to consider the needs of everyone involved, this is a natural extension. Enthusiasm can create in-groups without meaning to. Watch for cliques and resist them. Where there's been friction, look for concrete agreements rather than grand reconciliations. Large, innovative projects are favored when the circle stays open and trust is rebuilt patiently.
