The One Line of the Six Winds
(single-line parable)
A traveler reached
the summit only after listening to the six winds
– Why, What, Who, How, Where, and When – all
together revealing the approaches and steps the
mountain required.
The Six Winds of Arrival
(more metaphorical)
Success travels like a wandering wind:
it rises from the Why that stirs the air,
gathers around the What taking shape,
finds the Who who walks beside,
learns the How of crossing distance,
chooses the Where that opens the path, and
waits for the When that lets the horizon unfold. |

KoRe Parable "The
Six Doors"
"The first door is
Why. Without purpose, you walk in
circles.
The second is
What. Without clarity, your hands grasp at
fog.
The third is
Who. Without people, your path has no
companions and no witnesses.
The fourth is
How. Without method, effort becomes waste.
The fifth is
Where. Without place, even the right action
is misplaced.
The sixth is
When. Without
timing, even wisdom arrives too late."...
