乾卦第二
乾卦，六爻皆阳，《彖》曰：乾道变化，各正性命。蕴含无穷变数，如同禅宗说的“机变”，anything is possible。
以千机变居易经之首，宇宙万有，动而欲出。“大哉乾元，万物资始”，“云行雨施，品物流行”，好比晨光，好比春光。像荷马《奥德修纪》里每一天都由“When young Dawn with her rose-red fingers shone once more”开始。像《坎特伯雷故事集》开篇的四月春雨：When April with his showers sweet with fruit /The drought of March has pierced unto the root /And bathed each vein with liquor that has power /To generate therein and sire the flower; /When Zephyr also has, with his sweet breath, /Quickened again, in every holt and heath, /The tender shoots and buds, and the young sun /Into the Ram one half his course has run, /And many little birds make melody /That sleep through all the night with open eye.
乾卦九三，上不在天，下不在田，虽不是天上飞龙，在地亦难为凡人。程颐以“舜玄德升闻”作注，由浅而现离隐而著，好比春在不萌枝。此位不上不下，难上难下，尴尬之处正宜书生以此自勉。
于乾元“万物资始”，于坤元“万物资生”，如《金刚经》“诸行无常”，“生灭灭生”，尝于每一瞬间，灭故生新。生机充实，是姹紫嫣红开遍断井残垣，君子乾乾，是锦屏人爱蹋春阳。
有时候天公不作美，偏叫人在无明里上路。《神曲》中的朝圣之旅始于地狱入口的黑暗森林，荒凉触目惊心(“This wood of wilderness, savage, and stubborn /A bitter place! Death could scarce be bitterer”)；《黑暗之心》里Marlow出发时天气阴郁凄凉(“The air was dark above Gravesend, and farther back still seemed condensed into a mournful gloom, brooding motionless over the biggest,and the greatest, town on earth.”)；同样阴霾的是《白鲸》中Ishmael登船出海的天气，肃杀冬日，船员在冷风里唱着凄凉的歌；在《荒原》里，乔叟笔下的人间四月天已经成了“最残酷的季节”。
昭昭天命，昏昏旅程，能不能从冬走到春，能不能起死回生？中国古代看起来俗气的才子佳人喜剧，没少讲这个，可以搭配卦辞来讲，也许以后有时间再写。
