Summertime and the living is easy

Well, it has been a while since I've been here. I been busy with life. Too much going on to write or paint.

BUt then this is what we do. Winter is a time of repose while snow and cold and darkness surround us. Spring is a time of renewal. Well, you know that. How much more of a cliche can that be. And yet, at least up here, it still carries some truth.

THat is one of the fundamental ideas behind the I Ching. It is also called the book of changes. You see, change is all around us. It is ceaseless. Even our knowledge and "enlightenment" are constantly changing. Make no mistake. Becoming enlightened is not a dead end where you suddenly "know everything" and spend the rest of your life sitting around smiling!

No, enlightenment is really a step in a long process. It is a measure of understanding-a higher level of understanding -but it is not an end.

So enjoy the summer get out, have fun and renew.
