will me and Ik get closer once again?
  
  
    and received a response of:
  
  
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    26 Great Restraint
  
  
    
      
      The Statement of the first hexagram
    
    
      Gain by being upright. 
Not eating at home brings fortune. 
Advance across the great river.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The third line:
    A good horse chases, but gain is difficult.
Be upright. Prepare the chariots daily 
and be on guard. 
Gain by having a place to go.  
     
   
 
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    41 Decrease
  
  
    The Statement of the second hexagram
  
  
   Decrease. Have confidence. 
Great fortune. No fault
if one can be upright.
Gain by having a place to go. 
How should one act? 
Two square bamboo baskets
can be used in offering.
  
   
 
     
    
        
    The Image of the first hexagram
  
  
    Heaven in the center of a 
mountain: great restraint. 
The noble one 
frequently studies 
the words and prophesies 
of the past, and thereby 
nourishes virtue.  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
  
  
    Lake below mountain: 
decrease. The noble one 
halts his anger 
and curbs his desires.
