The Image of Heaven Over Earth
The flower of creation dies and I fall from peace into stagnation.
This natural process follows the decay of the product of union.
I die to the world and go inward.
I am numb. I am a shadow.
I am hidden and confused.
I am unconscious and see no light.
It would help me at this time to know that I am a seed
at the beginning of a new awakening.
Yet . . .
I am so much a part of this experience I cannot see.
In the blackness of transformation
I stand still.
Six in the First Place
I am the roots and the earth created by the decay of my past blooms.
Only time creates the illusion that soil and flower are not one.
I die to the senses and find inner light.
Six in the first place changes to hexagram 25.

Six in the Second Place
I do not know who or where I am.
I force myself to trust isolation as necessary to a new awakening.
Six in the second place changes to hexagram 6.

Six in the Third Place
I am ashamed of my weakness,
Fear in isolation . . . Crisis in the dark!
Six in the Third Place changes to hexagram 33.

Nine in the Fourth Place
The time is right.
My highest essence guides me to the light again.
I open and find I am not alone awakening.
Nine in the fourth place changes to hexagram 20.

Nine in the Fifth Place
Moving from darkness into light
I am blind in fear that I have not the strength to flower.
Slowly . . . I become aware and realize
My soul is as organic as all life,
My re-birth as mysterious and inevitable as death.
Nine in the fifth place changes to hexagram 35.
Hexagram 35, Paintings and Prescription.
Nine in the Last Place
I work consciously to return to creativity.
In that darkness of standing sill I discover stagnation and creation
Are two parts of the whole, each always moving into the other.
Nine in the last place changes to hexagram 45.

We all know by now, that when you make a habit of connecting with potential customers
little and often, on topics that they care about, you increase the likelihood
of them doing business with you. While that mantra may
have worked for Kevin Costner in “Field of Dreams,” it doesn’t necessarily
work for credit union websites. The “following” and “followers” selection operates
in the same fashion as Google+ and Twitter.
I’d like to thank you for the efforts you have put in writing this blog.
I am hoping to see the same high-grade blog posts from you
later on as well. In truth, your creative writing abilities has inspired me to get my own, personal site now 😉

Soil and flower … soul and power … are indeed one.
