Another I Ching inspired post. Sprouting is also related to “difficulty with beginning”.

This image is a fond memory of joy and relief after a red-eye flight and a long day on the assembly floor. circa 2012
Off the bench
21 FebI bought this “big boy toy” –a Cub Cadet snow blower–several years ago. I was in the game this morning using it to clear the driveway.

Actually, I was concerned that I would not get it restarted so…..
Rudgate Drive
It looks like I plowed the street too! Never know when you may need to borrow a cup of sugar. 🙂

Until next time the driveway is clear….and the neighbor’s.
Epicenter for Change
18 FebThe tenet of I Ching (Book of Changes) is that all life is change. The ancient Chinese observations are organized into 64 descriptions of expected/predictable changes. When the element of time is added, transitions between these changes are also predictable (if, as modern Westerners we can understand the language and symbols).
Since adding my page “I Ching Inspiration”, I realized for the last 18 months there has been a LOT of change in and around my home here in the midwest. For example: a new roof, restoration of drainage (blocked by south neighbor), city water lines…plus the sale and renovation of our backdoor neighbor’s property of 40 years. Here I go… with I Ching references and photos!
New Roof: #18 Correcting
Preparation for new decking and new shingles
Ditch Restoration: #34 Great Invigorating
Two truck loads of fill removed
City waterline: #53 Advancement
Ditch digging
1973 Duplex Remodel: #35 Prospering Progress
New windows, doors, toilets!
Friday Photo: IChing Inspired
13 Feb
Inspired
Imagination inspired by IChing: “Treading”, collage, E. Frazee, May 22, 1999
Imagination inspired by IChing: “Lizard treading on leopard tail”
#10 Conduct: Heaven above, Joyous Lake below
The abbreviated explanation comes from Wilhelm commentary The Spirit of the Art of Living: when threatened, in danger or deprived of power…to come to terms with it…stand still and wait, there may be guidance… claim destiny, simply proceed with faith and victory and progress. “Wow” I said to myself. “That is profound.”
Intriguing IChing Inspiration
9 FebI thoroughly enjoyed WordPress’ Photography 101 (Nov 14). The challenging assignments were provoking because the best responses I had were not new photos. I posted from my albums anyway. The experience reminded me of the challenge in 1999 from a workshop inspired by IChing. The purpose of the workshop was to create a collage. To continue the study (of a subject I knew nothing about) I made more collages.
One thing leads to another…I wondered if I had photographs that could be a reasonable images for IChing readings….YES! Now Friday Photos will feature “IChing Inspired” in addition to “Alphabet/Alliteration” subjects.
Because IChing is an obscure subject, I added a new page to this site that chronicles my study and references for inquiring minds. Check it out! Are you familiar with IChing?
