I don’t know quite how to put everything into words, but I’ve been feeling things shift lately. After a very hard couple of months, it seems like I’ve finally come out of that metaphorical tunnel. You know, the one with the seemingly unreachable light at the end of it.

I’m not quite ready to start jumping for joy just yet, but things are definitely looking up lately, and for the last week or so, I’ve almost been feeling like my ‘unstoppable’ (John Vecchiarelli’s immortal description) self again.

I even consulted the I Ching today, for the first time in ages, and this is what I got:

———
The Hexagram:

#43 – Kuai / Break-through (Resoluteness)

Above – TUI / THE JOYOUS, LAKE
Below – CH’IEN / THE CREATIVE, HEAVEN

This hexagram signifies on the one hand a breakthrough after a long accumulation of tension, as a swollen river breaks through its dikes, or in the manner of a cloudburst. . .a change in conditions occurs, a breakthrough.

I edited it heavily; there’s much more interesting interpretation at that link. This isn’t the same version as the book I have, either, but I had to have something to share with you.

This weekend I’m finishing up the mixing for the new Crystin Byrd song, spending some time with a really sweet friend of Alyssa’s who is visiting from Florida, looking at antiques with Saussha and a friend of hers, and I’m even meeting a new friend in person for the first time. It promises to be a good weekend. Oh, and I’m also going to take my car to Midas (again!) so it can get the adjustments it needs to hopefully pass DEQ this time. I was in and out of both places on Thursday, so keep your fingers crossed that it will be fixed relatively easily and cheaply. I wanna be legal, yo.

I feel like something big and great is about to happen, and I’d just like to say to whoever’s listening (or reading) that I hereby declare myself open to whatever that may be.

But like I said before, I may not be quite ready to start jumping for joy just yet, but I’m feeling much better, and I’m trying to simply ‘relax and pay attention’, as my friend Susan would say.
