Total Receptivity
Learn how to listen first. Found the best online I Ching website yesterday evening. Posted this to a comment, but worth bumping up to prime time:
02 - Hexagram Two: K’un
Receptive ForceEarth above and Earth below:
The Earth contains and sustains.
In this situation, the Superior Person should not take the initiative; he should follow the initiative of another.
He should seek receptive allies in the southwest; he should break ties with immovable allies in the northeast.Responsive devotion.
Receptive influence.
Sublime Success if you keep to your course.SITUATION ANALYSIS:
This is a time for dealing with reality as it is, not as you would have it be.
If you realize that in this situation you are the receptor, not the transmitter of the stimulus, you will find yourself reaching goals that seemed unattainable under your own steam.
If you persist in futile efforts to be the Shaper rather than the Shaped, you will completely miss this unique opportunity.

Since you posted the red flannel PJ’s you have to read the story of my iron now. Sorry, you have only yourself to blame. Me and a couple of friends were debating the merits of red PJ’s (with feet!) in a catalog yesterday.
A few months ago I got a promotion and had to start dressing better at work. I had to get out the iron and I couldn’t find it. I’m always picky about where I put things that can start fires and my apt. is small so it amazed me that I couldn’t find the iron. I had to buy a new one.
A few days ago I found the iron right where I left it. I took it to work to give it away because I had bought a new one. I have a friend who I always offer things to but I didn’t feel like offering it to her. I offered it to my other friend.
She was very shocked and explained that her mother had been after her to buy an iron. She checked some stores but didn’t like what she saw. When she told her mother the story her mom cradled the iron like a baby and carried the iron all around the house.
I don’t know why it’s an important story but it is.
