I awoke to myself reciting a line from this morning's Efforts . The Universe-----again .
Some time ago the thought 'arrived' that I could harness the I Ching to Aesop in order to produce a text that would supply adult readers with the ancient Chinese Wisdom [and its Bounty], so they could 'get' Something from Aesop's "Bottom Lines" . One of Aesop's (pronounced E-SOW) stories would be followed by an I Ching (pronounced "Yee Jing") Commentary that would locate the Position of the Story as one of the I Ching's 64 Hexagrams .
At first I thought >>> WHAT A GREAT FUCKING IDEA--- but it didn't take long for "Daunt" to arrive as well . Who (the fuck) has even HEARD of the I Ching let alone read its Contents ?
My "Modern Novels" Professor and Chairman of the U.Conn. English Department, Dr. Moynahan,, `told` me my shit was good enough but that I had-ta "create" my own Audience . Dr. Ken Ring, my Psychology Professor `told` me that it was the job of Modern Writers to >adjust< the ancient stories in order to make them Relevant to contemporary readers .
I mean with such a laudable Aim, what could possibly go rwong* ??
