I was working with “unicode” which is a standard that catalogs many of the truly amazing number of characters and symbols used in the world’s cultures, both now and in the past. There are over 100,000 symbols there now, and that still doesn’t cover everything.
The names were just so prosaic and evokative. I love them all.
In particular, THE KEEPING STILL MOUNTAIN really struck me.
I initially interpreted it as an ancient expression of respect for nature. I know now that this is an I-Ching Hexagram that means something completely different, but I still like the imagery.
