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

...gradually stepping away?
and received a response of:
16 Delight
The Statement of the first hexagram
What delight!
Gain by naming allies.
Move armies.
The changing lines
The third line:
Wide-eyed delight is regrettable.
If you are late
you will have regrets.
62 Small Crossing
The Statement of the second hexagram
Small crossing. Continue for gainful purity.
Small matters can be done,
but not large matters.
Flying birds leave their sound:
it is unsuitable to go high-
the suitable is below.
Great fortune.
The Image of the first hexagram
Thunder explodes,
shaking the earth: delight.
The early kings made music,
glorifying virtue as the
highest offering to God,
and so they were worthy
of their ancestors.
The Image of the second hexagram
Thunder above the
mountain: small crossing.
The noble one acts with
more than enough
reverence, destroys
excessive grief, and uses
more than enough
economy.
