Day 22,067 - Images from the I Ching: Wind [The Gentle] over Sky [The Creativity] (Hexagram 05 - Clouds, Small Nurture, Little Accumulation) changing towards [......] Wind [The Gentle] over Sky [The Creativity] (Hexagram 05 - Clouds, Small Nurture, Little Accumulation) -- Today's Wind over Sky appears without changes ... All lines are young ... It feels stable right now, as opposed to stagnant ... two sides of the no-changes context. After the events of this past year I am ready for a little bit of stability. This is an opportunity to prepare for the upheavals that are arriving ... For me, the increasing instability of the unemployement system makes each week an adventure ... The U.S. Congressional support of the two month extension to Unemployment gets me a bit closure to the 99 week limit, which is also drawing close ... Then it will be the "gapping" strategy to find financial resources to make it to 62 and Social Security retirement, or Disability, whichever comes first. ... Beyond that, it is always a good time to write down the stories and events that unfold within me and around me.

Overall, the in-between-ness of everything is an interesting challenge. Being too blind to get a job but not blind enough to be a legally disabled person makes me feel, in some ways, like I have wandered off of the path and that I am surrounded by thorn-bearing briar bushes and rough caneberries ... It is hard to know where to step and how quickly I need to make that step. Wind in the Sky brings to mind dry air, hot sun, blue skies and very little moisture. If there are clouds they are small and hold little promise for the nourishment of the greenworld ... This is a moment to appreciate the systems that are in place to help out in these circumstances. The forty years of work that I have accomplished have allowed me to accumulate some back up for the just-in-case. When there is little rain and the fresh food is becoming scarce, the roots, preserves and grains set aside in the cellar are suddenly appetitizing and appreciated.

One of my daughters from the Universe stopped by from the land of Powderhorn Park and we enjoyed conversation and reflection on astrology charts and systems of divination ... The rain may not be falling, and the available resources in storage may be dwindling, but it is always good to reflect on where we have been, where we are and what is the most effective way to step through the briar patch, the cane berries and the buckthorn to get to the river ... The wind blows above, the sun burns and the thorns never seem to miss the flesh, but there are (afterall) berries hiding in the branches ... il matto ...
