38 Estrangement

The Statement of the second hexagram

Estrangement.

In small matters: fortune.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

The lake overwhelms
the trees: great excess.
The noble one stands alone
without fear,
and can withdraw
from the world
without sorrow.

estrangement. The noble
one works with others,
but remains an individual.
