This I Ching project is dedicated to my late wife, Shelly. When I met her over 30 years ago, she had a version of The I Ching on her bookshelf. I had already discovered and was quite fond of the principles and ideas of Taoism, but I had not heard of the I Ching. I recall her teaching me how to use it using the coin toss method, and explaining how it was meant to be used — not as some fortune telling parlor trick, but as a tool which applied ancient (and timeless) philosophy, metaphysics, ethics, and practical wisdom to act as a catalyst for introspection and contemplation. I have such fond memories of using the I Ching together, sharing our questions and discussing the hexagrams we'd receive.

And so I send my love and gratitude to my beloved Shelly – for everything – and for introducing me to the I Ching so many years ago. It helped guide us over the years; it continues to help guide me.

May it help guide you.

Wishing you peace and love.
