See: 18 Gem 45 — 24 Gem 23.

Statement: Folks come and go and draw from the well so long as they get to its water. A well with clear, limpid water suggests sincerity.

HEXAGRAM 48:
Rustic sincerity is no error, but may have to be guarded and tended like a good well of limpid water to bulwark against overuse and marring changes.

The deep well is often taken as a symbol of basic vitality that is shared and common.

The all-important thing about a well is that its water be drawn.

Communities and individuals are to tend to and not neglect their source of inner strength. They need to set aside time to cultivate their contact with the inner sources through good meditation and other fith doings. Thus, a good well is useless if nobody drinks from it.

A deep well has to be kept in good repair, and people need to cultivate their source of vitality by setting aside time enough for this deep purpose.

The source of vitality is very deep inside oneself and everyone else alive in the community.

Carelessness - by which the jug is broken - bodes not well.

The superior man encourages the people to help one another.

The dependable well never runs dry. The same is true of the really great man.

The shape and composition of the 48 symbol of the i ching is how i intend to structure the timing, sections and cuts in my film. Through working out the percentages of the film in correlation to the length of lines in the symbol.

Sync the symbol for water, calm, gentle wind, wood.... this i feel aids continuity within concept and provides a perfect framework for composing the soundtrack.
John Cage used the i ching to structure harmoniously his compositions.
