Hilary Barrett, I Ching

Last weekend, I spent another few days clearing and sorting at Mum’s house, and once again found myself reminded of her huge productivity. I wrote about this once before: I’d asked Yi what Mum’s power was, and it answered with Hexagram 2, unchanging. So I thought about Mum, and since on this visit I was sorting through and gathering all the things I want to keep, I also thought about what she left me.

It occurred to me that one thing I wanted to read in her Will was, “I bequeath my power of realisation to my daughter Hilary absolutely.” And then, as I was falling asleep one night, I realised that she did.

That was a few days ago, and since then, I’ve noticed I can concentrate for longer than I’ve been able to for months, if not years. Part of me’s been welcoming this development with delight, while another part worries that it might be just a blip, and I might be setting myself up for disappointment by attaching too much significance to it.

So in this context I just cast my reading for the week ahead - my first ‘open’ reading since I had the experience of this bequest. I received Hexagram 2, unchanging.
