Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others

I am leaving sooner than...?
and received a response of:
27 Nourishing
The Statement of the first hexagram
Nourishing. Pure fortune.
Watch the jaws
and what one seeks to fill one's mouth.
The changing lines
The sixth line:
Through nourishment
in severity comes fortune.
Advance across the great river.
24 Returning
The Statement of the second hexagram
Returning. Continue.
In coming and going,
there is neither sickness nor distress.
Companions come without fault.
Returning is its Tao.
In seven days, returning comes.
Gain by having a place to go.
The Image of the first hexagram
Thunder below the mountain: nourishing.
The noble one is
careful in speech
and temperate
while eating and drinking.
The Image of the second hexagram
Thunder in the center of
the earth: returning.
The ancient kings
closed the borders
during the solstices.
Traveling merchants
did not journey. Sovereigns
did not tour the provinces.
