Donning the Law of the Day

At rest and still reaching — the paradox: inside content lies a holy discontent that keeps her growing.

1. 01In a state of peaceful happiness with what is
2. 02Satisfied, yet not finished
3. 03Willing to accept the present without abandoning the pursuit
4. 04At ease, untroubled by what has not arrived yet
5. 05Contented — needing nothing in order to begin
6. 06Also: that which is held inside a thing — its contents
7. 07Filled, and therefore able to give
8. 08Quietly pleased rather than loudly craving
9. 09Restful in the middle of ambition
10. 10Carrying a divine discontent — ever pursuing, ever growing

Steady enough in herself to step into discomfort — comfort held so it can be given away.

1. 01Physically or mentally at ease
2. 02Free from strain, want or hard pressure
3. 03Providing ease — a comfort to others
4. 04Secure enough not to flinch
5. 05Well-provided for; not anxious about supply
6. 06Confident in a situation others find hard
7. 07Consoling — to comfort is to strengthen with
8. 08At home in the room she is in
9. 09Relaxed without being idle
10. 10Sufficiently established to risk being uncomfortable

3. 03Of weather: gentle, fair, not harsh
4. 04Showing compassion toward one who is at your mercy
5. 05Temperate — neither hot nor cold in dealing
6. 06Slow to punish, quick to release
7. 07Gracious where severity was available
8. 08Kindly disposed toward the offender
9. 09Softening the penalty on purpose
10. 10Making the climate around her survivable

9. 09To become acquainted with by doing
10. 10To accumulate the record of what you have lived

To wipe clean. The clean slate: I'm okay, you're okay, it is okay — and nothing is carried forward.

1. 01To release someone from blame or obligation
2. 02To forgive an offence and not count it
3. 03To wipe the slate — to clear the record

6. 06To overlook a fault without pretending it was not one
7. 07To free from a duty or a penalty

10. 10To say: it is okay, and mean it as a legal act

The view she is standing in — no outlook, no prospect.

1. 01A person's point of view or general attitude
2. 02The prospect for the future — what is likely to come
3. 03A view from a place; what can be seen from where she stands
4. 04A lookout — the vantage point itself
5. 05The forecast of a thing
6. 06The frame through which she reads a situation
7. 07Expectation, held openly
8. 08The scene before her, seen honestly
9. 09A vista, a horizon, an opening
10. 10The seeing that has to come before the getting

The one posted at the view — she looks out, and what she sees she makes usable for others.

10. 10A woman who turns her view into somebody else's comfort

Many horizons kept open at once — visions, vision boards, prospects.

2. 02Visions — the pictures she keeps in front of her
3. 03Prospects: real openings, not wishes
4. 04Multiple forecasts, each one prepared for
5. 05The set of horizons a sovereign woman keeps watch over

7. 07Several vantage points on one kingdom
8. 08Expectations plural, so nothing is her only hope
9. 09Perspectives gathered from many rooms
10. 10The increase of the day: more ways for increase to arrive
