Thunder above Wind — both in motion, both self-reinforcing, the pattern that continues because it's built to continue. "The superior person stands firm and does not change direction." Constancy isn't stubbornness — it's the ability to return to the same purpose after every disruption. What do you keep coming back to when nothing external is pushing you toward it? That's where the real work is.
