In addition to my thanks, I also thought it might be fun to use the I Ching (and some coins) to come up with a divination for each of you. I've been trying to develop some different serial and procedural poetic forms I may use in Tea & Gin, and possibly in Concessions Contained, and casting the I Ching seems analogous to some of the poetic exploration I have been doing. So, without further adieu, here are the I Ching divinations for my first project backers, in no particular order, along with some photos:

Timmy said his was pretty cool. I think it is fitting since he's always whining about being tired. I explained to Charlie that stagnation happens when something sits still too long. He said, "well, that will never happen to me!".
