Yi 12: Linda Ronstadt Night at GW&S last night

Lingering post-GW&S per the routine with Lewis, Greg and Juan last night, the music landed on Linda Ronstadt, particularly her Spanish songs, and we sang along, mostly Greg and I. After awhile a young lady - Kay - came over from down the way, having heard the music. Turns out she's a president (or something similar) of a Linda Ronstadt Fan Club. I stumped her when I asked about the album featuring David Clayton Thomas on one side and Linda Ronstadt with the Stone Poneys on the other, but she did know of the Stone Poneys connection. Kinda weird and way cool, some sort of suggestion of a sliver of Cosmic Order. Maybe. 

Lo Siento Mi Vida...





Hilary Barrett:

"The early Chinese character for 'Opening' shows someone with words rising from their mouth: they seem to be dancing and singing. It means joyful and outgoing expression that opens up communication. Opening brings people together and begins a lively creative process of sharing and exchange." 

Yi 11: how to best Strip Away my Toxic Mess

 related Stripping Away


Hilary Barrett:

It is time for transformation. The old Chinese character for 'Radical Change', which also means 'leather', shows an animal hide: this is change like a shaman's, putting on a new skin to change your identity. And it is also revolutionary change: this hexagram marks the day when the Zhou people and their allies marched out to meet the armies of the corrupt Shang dynasty, and defeated them. You change the governing principle, and bring about renewal.

In the moment of change, there is truth – sincerity and a sure knowledge. Then the power of the whole unfolding creative process, from the source through to fruition and fulfilment, can enter here and change the world. Naturally regrets vanish, along with the past to which they belong. The new time is coming.

Yi 10: what about 23/Stripping Away will most challenge me AND related Asian Woman microscope dream

In the few-years-ago dream I am standing next to an Asian Woman and it's clear we are a couple. I see us thusly situated through the lens of a microscope. I look good, as in Clean and Sober, something I was not when I had the dream. Since then, I have gotten worse. I am a Toxic Mess. I ask, How per the dream have I arrived at such a state of Much Better, and receive hexagram 23, Stripping Away.
