And also, I think often the difficulty is precisely that we cannot see any or even imagine any silver lining. Then the challenge is to have faith, and I suspect that perfect faith is the source of the Hanged Man's serenity. Easier said than done.

Rarely seen in my readings. I also had 6 major arcana cards in one reading! I think I am supposed to listen! Thanks for your insights and attention. My life is richer, checking in with your blog each day. It is slow going reading my morning pages for the new Artist Way chapter. It will take me more than a week or two. I am surprised to find my self continuing my commitment to this program as I sometimes tire of commitments that are time consuming. I'm still here with the group, although doing more creating art and jewelry than writing these days. I have been consistent with artist dates. I find I must slow down a bit, as I have too many good ideas swirling around in my head from artist dates and I want to stay still and focus on my art for a few weeks in a row. Wish I had a caretaker to take care of all the daily mundane tasks, so I could immerse myself in color, texture, and process for hours at a time or days at a time.

Here's an Zen exercise to conquer haste: When you get your mail don't open the letters or emails for a week. Well if a week is too difficult then maybe 3 days? Another exercise: Take a day off and do nothing. :-) Leave room for empty spots. Here's a Zen riddle: When you seek it, you can not find it. Beth, your site is a fountain of wisdom.
