Hilary Barrett:
"Nothing moves or grows, communication doesn't happen, everything is negated and blocked – and this is because of 'non-people'. That may mean that some people are a consistently, exclusively and pathologically negative influence and sabotage all attempts at progress. It can also refer to perceiving someone as not quite a real person, explaining their behavior with labels and stereotypes rather than seeking to understand. In both cases, there is a complete failure of empathy.
This means that your very best and strongest efforts come to nothing. You can have a soaring imaginative concept of the creative possibilities here; you can have the will to be true to that concept and carry it through. You're not doing anything wrong; the problem is that these creative possibilities are just not available when things are Blocked. Small concerns dominate. The adaptive response is not to strive constantly to rise to a higher level, but to focus your attention on the small details – the immediate, uninspiring reality."

Yi 66: Clodagh Nanaimo 1: this repository 1
Hilary Barrett:
"This is about natural beauty, like the beauty of a plant, whose form is the perfect, simple expression of its nature. It's also about the way people create images to communicate something of a person's or thing's inner nature.
This becomes a fruitful way to engage with the world when you have a purpose in mind – like someone who becomes a suitor for the sake of his bride, or a figure of authority for the sake of those she teaches. This is an image created for the sake of communication and relationship, as a first step towards a chosen destination."
Hilary Barrett:
"The early Chinese character for 'Opening' shows someone with words rising from their mouth: they seem to be dancing and singing. It means joyful and outgoing expression that opens up communication.
Opening brings people together and begins a lively creative process of sharing and exchange. It liberates human energies, motivates people to overcome hardship and encourages perseverance."
Yi 65: using this repository re Mom's Final Chapter
I will soon begin what I will call the "Mom" series soon, A chronicle of her Alzheimer's evaporation from sparkling pond to muddled puddle.
What's Nearing is her death, a steady and steep demise in process now for five or six years.
Me and Mom, Okinawa, Japan, some time ago.
