Pool of Siloam
Ancient wells
Sometimes when we feel down and want to throw in the towel, if we consult the I-ching we might get Hexagram 48 "The Well." The well throughout history has always been a place of refreshment, and nourishment. Often a place to bathe. For us it could be a source of our spiritual nourishment. Sometimes we need to go deep within ourselves to access our higher self or the well of spiritual waters. It's also important to have spiritual resources or wells on the outside that we can tap into, like true friends or family, the I-ching, or other sacred books. The element of water, and wind is found often in the I ching as a source of overcoming obstacles. In the bible the image of the well comes up, as when Jesus talked to the woman at the well. And healed at the pool of siloam.
