I like to throw the I-Ching. Especially when I'm in some kind of inexplicable state where I just need some advice or commentary, some insight from something that is potentially beyond this everyday realm of existence. Last night I threw hexagram #17, Following, and got the 5th changing line, '
Sincere in the good. Good fortune.' with the added explanation, "Every man must have something he follows--something that serves him as a lodestar. He who follows with conviction the beautiful and the good may feel himself strengthened by this saying." I think I have lost my lodestar. If you find it could you please return it to our place? Thanks.

dear alice,
I have been thinking of you a lot these past days. I have been mulling. and thinking about lodestars. and stars. and you. and how you share your own light with those around you--near and distant.
i want to say more, but first i must ask, what would you say WAS your lodestar, if you can put a name to it?
