Kǎn (坎) — The Abyss

Water doubled — danger upon danger, the pit that goes all the way down. "If you are sincere, success in your heart." Sincerity here means maintaining your essential nature through the trial — water in an abyss is still water, it doesn't become the pit. The path through is real but there are no shortcuts. Move with genuine purpose, find the current's direction, and follow it without losing what you actually are.
