Is 28.5 about adapting

[seeker]

Was wondering if 28.5 could be about adapting or making the best of a situation, sort of when life gives you lemons make lemondade? I asked Friday what my weekend looked like and got 28.5. My whole weekend was about things going wrong or not as planned. My a/c went out, my daugters friends were 4 hours late picking her up due to snags of their own. My mom had flat tire, and when my dad came to help, he got one as well. Even the meatloaf I made did not turn out as good as usual. Yet I still managed to get a lot of packing done with my moms help, I got time with my daugter I had not counted on, the flat tires gave me time to rethink getting an entertainment center I decided would not meet my needs afterall, even the dinner turned out ok overall. So, though the weekend was full of frustrating moments, overall it was productive, and Im trying to see how 28.5 fits into that.

wow good story! i think 28 is about absorbing the wisdom of our elders while we can- that's the greatness in excess-they, we have more than we needed- knowledge, understanding, patience have all got to flow. The 5th line is about adaptive or yin or feminine intelligence which is seen as recruiting (and constantly re-training) helpers, and it is these who win neither praise nor blame, but are judged by their utility no matter how they might want to seem attractive (the entertainment center) or pitiable to us. the quiet pleasures of life are remain to us (32)

Hi Seeker

Just in case the commentarie could be useful

28 is an excess. One of the diferent meaning is "emotional tension".

Line 5 is about frustration, even if you try a renovation (an effort to renovete yourself, the situation, and so on)
