When Will I Ever Learn?

When will I ever learn all the things that should be learned, if they could be learned. Or does it go the other way?

My Tarot relationship card for the day – the Ten of Swords – as dead as dead can be.

This card, a generally reliable source tells me, expresses very hard experience, accepting an irrevocable ending. Life is as it is, and so are relationships. Form is not essence, and yet form often exists on its own, to serve an end.

Some relationships are like that, an inner voice tells me, and I must learn through experience, how to become aware of which relationships have value, and which are means to some other end, worthy or otherwise.

Why do I keep thinking that life should be simple and easy, even when a lifetime of experience denies my illusion?

A Journal of a journey, with Spirit as my guide, using the wisdom of I Ching, an ancient explanation of change as a necessary part of life, to understand Life, and where, how, and why my life has developed as it has, and where do I go from here, and how, and why. My mission, purpose, or desire is to share my struggle toward and passion for enlightenment, without having a clear idea of what it will look like when I find it, and I intend to find it, sooner or later. Meanwhile I seem to be struggling toward enlightenment without a clear road map, unless Spirit, my constant companion (did He invite himself along, for laughs, perhaps?) is hiding it from me, for whatever reason. Vancouver, BC Canada is the only place I care to live, in this world. Perhaps it's not entirely by choice. My name is carved into a nearby sidewalk, as if to remind me where I belong. I am blessed to have Spirit as a teacher. Just ask him.
