Catching up on your blog…

This entry raises a dilemma for me about weekly/daily readings - if I’d gotten this I’d assume it was for a specific and concrete reason and then I’d spend my week in fear waiting for the shoe to drop.

But unless something happened to you that week that you didn’t mention, it appears - perhaps? - that it was simply pointing to an opportunity for insight that would come your way.

True? And if so, is there any way around this dilemma, or is it just something inherent to the I Ching that we must try to live with?

Thanks,
Lisa

I was commenting on a friend’s blog, a published writer from Argentina, who has this series of “letters” to an imaginary friend that he calls “Cartas al Duque” (Letters to the Duke). I find them fascinating. In one of his recent “letters” he tells the Duke about a conversation he supposedly overhead (most likely he did…) I’ll translate the quoted text in my entry:

“At the stairs where the journalists go to smoke, a woman says to another: ‘I prefer to be down rather than being well. When you are well, you are vulnerable. But when you are down, you are simply indestructible.”
