I am not happy that I haven’t posted anything here since early June. I have been so busy packing, moving, unpacking and doing all kinds of tasks needed for my move from Princeton, New Jersey to Connecticut that I haven’t had a moment to work on my life-time love of illustrating I Ching Meditations. I’m not quite ready to dig into that so thought I would post something about an experience with the hexagram, Inner Truth and my move.
I didn’t really leave my personal inner truth in Princeton, but a plaque of the Chinese character that was made for me several years ago in a trade with James Hewes, an artist/carpenter. James makes sculptures based on the I Ching. He made me a clay plaque of hexagram 61, Inner Truth as a trade for one of my books. James lives and works in the woods in Montana. The work that he sent me reflected that environment. I hung it but I never was happy with how the piece looked inside. Before I moved I took the plaque into the path in the woods that I walked on every day and found a place in a tree where the clay plaque of Inner Truth looked perfect, as if it grew there organically. Inner Truth still lives on in Princeton, New Jersey.
I have also been working on a series of paintings based on the Chinese character for each hexagram of the I Ching. I the last one I finished was Inner Truth, posed here.

Thanks,Adele. Will check it out.
Where’s the Jung video?!
Trish – I think you have to refresh your page. It’s there.
Our last move took us nearly a year to sort out stuff.
Wow, Adele, you are talented! I love this panting of inner truth. And don’t worry, you’ll get back into the swing of things. Hope the move is working out!
Yes, “things are working out” but that doesn’t mean that I’m finished with all the tasks needed for a move. I’m really tired of all the sorting and rearranging and having to look at my “stuff” and make endless decisions. And lots of physical work too.
