Hilary Barrett, I Ching

Anyone know a trigram supplier?

I just received this email:

“Hi there

we´re currently making a TV documentary about Tai Chi - and as part of
the programme we urgently need to get hold of some I-Ching hexagrams
(trigrams?)
for: heaven, earth, water, fire etc…

If you might be able to supply these - or know someone who can - we´d
be very grateful if you could contact us.”

    that’s utterly hysterical. Perhaps they’re looking for a sole-source contract, with customization?

    You could send them a Republic of Korea flag. That has primary trigrams on it. Or tell them toc watch “Lost”. The “Dharma Initiative” symbolcontains all 6.

    Well, the poor boy is obviously out of his depth. But did anyone enlighten him in the end, or is he still strolling through the universe wondering what it’s all about?

    maybe they mean three grams of something leaned up against each other.I’m given to understand that they put grams of things in straws down in mehico!

    Don’t worry for him, Caro. Of course I sent a polite reply with links to helpful information.
