February 28 ’23
In view, swaying trees in sightless breeze.
Tethered plumes. Leafy throngs. Billowing balls of green.
To these meh eyes, gesticulations without meaning — but to something(s), surely rich.
But who? Birds? Other trees? Triffids? Others, entirely other to us?
And those sounds.
Whooshing. Fluttering. Shimmering. Rustling.
Noises thought dumb, by the dumb only.
Some finer calibrated cochlea is versant in this tongue.
Needed, a Course in General Floro-Lingusitics. (Or would it be Phyto-Linguistics?)

There are many rules and physics we are tied to as humanoids, both corporeal and psychological: emotional structures, nutritional requirements, all manner of bodily limitation. But in this fairly closed system there is a solitary window, which remains fixed and open to a limitless beyond. This opening informs all of our creative powers, it is our imagination.
We know there are no physically traversable rooms in Yue Zhang’s architectures or actual storm systems causing her cloudy skies, but the extraordinary and strange drafts blowing in through the aperture at the back of her mind, informing her inventions, is giving sincere elasticity to our quotidian rigidity.

11. Peace
These first few lines are the general aphoristic returns for the week. They are raw and uninterpreted; there to use how you’d like. (The specific readings follow.)
- follow your vision(s), and emotional instincts, with gusto
- use a fortunate time to prepare for a misfortunate time
- if success is met, do not relax into confidence
- persevere in modesty and light

From “L.M.”: In my workplace there are a couple of people who are cynics; they tend to mock other people’s ideas and maintain power over the group - even when we share the same position. How can one deal with such energy? I seek to be at peace at this and any other workplace. I do not want to run from here, as unpleasant people can be found anywhere.
Identifying and fighting cynicism is a deeply noble and biological inclination — how else are genes learning and earthly life to survive? It certainly won’t be by suspicion and pessimism.
In a very serious way, you may want to consider, that underneath your desire for “peace,” there may be something like a romantic warrior. A vigilant personage not willing to acquiesce to an environment of sarcastic negativism. The biggest challenge for someone with anti-cynical (romantic) tendencies, is taking action — as opposed to dreaming, over-planning or over-feeling. The thing is to figure out how to bring the dark of these incredulous personalities into exposing light. Note: all signs are saying that you are entering a very prosperous and light filled time; don’t waste it.
Complete Reading
This week we pulled the Knight of Cups. Here we have a dreamer of strength, that is, one who dreams but delivers on their visions. Knights in tarot are representative of energy and action (not deliberation). The suit of cups is connected to all things emotional (not intellectual). In combination we have something like a romantic warrior. If you have a visionary but confident plan for a certain scenario, go for it.
Our first hexagram this week is #19, Approach. This hexagram details the time right before the end of winter; a time when darkness is losing power and the rejuvenating energy of spring is imminent. “The hexagram as a whole points to a time of joyous, hopeful progress. Spring is approaching. Joy and forbearance bring high and low nearer together. Success is certain. We must work with determination and perseverance to make full use of the propitiousness of the time (as) Spring does not last forever… If we meet evil before it becomes reality — before it has even begun to stir — we can master it.” This is an advisement to take advantage of health and light while you can. Prepare against the dark forces(!) whatever they may be… There was one change this week, of which the specific note is: if things go well, do not relax into confidence; be modest and keep your wits about you.
Our second hexagram, the one that suggests how best to meet the challenges (or the changes) is #11, Peace. This hexagram point to a time of balance and light. That is, all elements find their ultimate aspect at the most propitious time — a time of light, not darkness. Modesty and perseverance in clear light.
