What if we've gotten something completely backward?

Why can one frightening thought hijack an entire afternoon, while possibility needs a five-year plan, three signs from the universe, and preferably a notarized letter before we'll believe it?

And when did we decide fear was the more reliable narrator?

Michele brought a deceptively simple question into this week's I Ching Mashup:

If shadow can seem real, why not light?

So we took it to the I Ching:

When fear, limitation, and shadow feel more real than possibility, what helps us discern what is actually true—and how can we turn our attention toward light without denying what we're experiencing?

And then things got weird.

A song neither of us had thought about in years suddenly entered the conversation. We looked it up. Read what it was actually saying. Got goosebumps.

Then we pulled the cards.

And somehow Clint Eastwood became a spiritual teacher.

We're not going to tell you what the I Ching said.

Because this one is better experienced with us.

If life has felt heavy lately—or you've noticed how easy it is to believe what could go wrong while questioning everything that could go right—come mash it up with us.

Maybe the question isn't how to get rid of the darkness.

Maybe it's:

What haven't we been able to see because we've been staring at it?
