what likes to occur...

As soon as we notice

that certain types of event
"like" to cluster together
at certain times,
we begin to understand
the attitude of the Chinese,
whose theories of medicine,
philosophy, and even building
are based on a "science" of
meaningful coincidences.
The classical Chinese texts
did not ask what causes what,
but rather
what "likes" to occur with what."
