24 Returning

Returning. Continue.
In coming and going,
there is neither sickness nor distress.
Companions come without fault.

Wood on the mountain:
gradually.

in high moral character
and reforms
popular customs.

the earth: returning.
The ancient kings
closed the borders
during the solstices.

did not journey. Sovereigns
did not tour the provinces.
