This image illustrates the chapter "Yum Chi's
Commentary on the I Ching" in the book, Knight
of a 1000 eyes. The story is about learning Tai
Chi and getting in touch with the wisdom of the
body, here given voice in the internal guide or
teacher, Yum Chi. He starts to write a commentary
on the I Ching. What hubris. But why not.
is about a new father waking up in the night,
dealing with a disturbance outside, feeding a
bottle to his new baby, and thinking about his own
father and mother. The right side is a flow chart
of the main associational connections in the story.
The left side is a collage of several images from
the story and illustrations of the concept of the
story. Thus we have juxtaposed side by side the
dream and the abstraction of a verbal art. The
story is written in the "bookmovie", a highly
readable movie script format (invented by Kerouac
and perfected by Burroughs).
