Heavenly stems

계수(癸水)

the graph of the water

What it means

癸 gye is the graph likened to dew and rain.

It is the tenth of the ten heavenly stems and belongs to the yin aspect of water.

Small water that seeps in, so thought runs deep and the sense is quick.

It wets without showing itself, and so it does not readily reveal what is within.

What the document says

Bright of mind, quick to notice.

Like clear water it reads what is inside people.

Flowing to the low place, care has become its habit.

It does well to state its own will plainly.

Original

이슬과 같아 소리 없이 스미어 만물을 적시더라. 가늘고 여리나 스미지 못할 곳이 없느니라.
