	Just for fun, me as a Montana cowboy at my seventh birthday party.	Author's Statement
	This bridge links the pavement of society with the Idaho and Montana wilderness. Beyond this bridge is a restoration of self. I come for quietude, reflection, and healing. Each person must refuge to center to gain perspective. Heaven to Earth, I Ching acts as a bridge for an inward spiritual journey where the question becomes a footbridge from the confusion offered up daily to the quietude of the wilderness experience. Looking within begins by separating ourselves from the tugs of living, and from our attachment to what we perceive is "real" to a receptive openness.	Preface
	The I Ching was born in the fires of ancient China. Even today, we seek the warmth and illumination of fire and friends to shed light on our experiences. Truly, we light the darkness to understand our environment and demands.	Introduction
	This photograph is of "parlor" beads. My purpose is to point out that the I Ching is more than a game or gimmick, but should be used to strengthen the bond between your higher self and daily actions. Look beyond by applying its wisdom to one's life.	Introduction
	This photograph print was dark, which was not what the day was about. A double rainbow was revealed after I scanned the negative. Heaven to Earth, I Ching acts like the scanner, or any other tool used to reveal the hidden or to magnify the invisible.	Introduction
	I'm not sure what specific mission the spider was on, but it was not wasting time. Whatever its drive, it must fulfill its life cycle for nourishment, shelter, and procreation. It lives by the rules of its very nature.	Introduction
	Beargrass and Lodgepole Pine tree coexist in this high altitude Idaho wilderness environment. Each one thrives because of its peculiar survival adaptations. Beargrass retreats in winter while the Pine stands tall. Lodgepole cones open only by forest fire. The two contrast to demonstrate similar environmental conditions yielding different survival mechanisms. Two people share the same situation, yet the Heaven to Earth, I Ching response for one individual may not be appropriate for the other. Find harmony given your makeup and environment. Find your Tao....	Introduction
	A full moon setting at dawn over Oregon's Owyhee Mountains. This photograph symbolizes the Mountain trigram. It shows the deep Stillness just before sunrise.	Introduction
	The curve of the street against the long shadows of the tall palm trees created a sense of imbalance for me, especially with the offset camera angle. In disorienting situations, record the elements that introduce imbalance. With this awareness, take a closer look at the events.	Questions & Hexagrams
	Our surveying route in Saudi Arabia included this escarpment face. Through negotiations, other means of providing electricity to the village at the bottom was achieved and our task unnecessary. So too in life, we often start with one plan and must adapt. The issue is focusing on the goal. In this case, the village.	Questions & Hexagrams
