This evening's iChing -- and no changing lines.

1.  Sunrise.
A foundation for progress.
It is beneficial to persist.

There is creative power, inspiration, or an idea, looking to become manifest. There may as yet be no direct road for realization, though. Persistence is necessary to realize it.



Love: You need to behave in a compassionate fashion towards your partner.
Personal: You need to take time out to relax and enjoy life more.
 
And I can't help but wonder what its supposed to mean for me.  Obviously, I need to be working on my creative side, those sorts of things, with persistence.  The word sunrise itself ... maybe I'm supposed to get up early and head out :)  I'm usually up, I love to watch the sun rise in the sky.

And on a completely different topic:
I was telling my imaginary best friend today about some things that I've noticed about me and how things are -- and aren't.   How I had a good day, and wanted to share.  Have you ever noticed that sometimes sharing an event with one person isn't the same as sharing it with someone else?  Or how you share something because you learned from it, and they don't take your advice?  one of my points to someone was that while I might have the opportunity to tell, share, or explain what I know, but  its not my job to decide for them.  Lots of truth in that statement.  Because frankly, you can tell someone something, and if they don't take your suggestions, you want to slap them and say WTF is wrong with you???  You have choices, why stay stuck in the same rut you're in?????  That's not living, that's shackled.   *jumps off her soapbox*

Have a great weekend, everyone :)
