Anything I should do before I go to bed?
and received a response of:
3 Sprouting
The Statement of the first hexagram
Sprouting begins everywhere,
abundant and pure.
No need to go far:
gain by naming allies.
The changing lines
The second line:
How like the difficulty of sprouting!
Rushing like a team of horses: it is not a raider
who woos, yet the chaste girl refuses.
She waits ten years for betrothal.
The sixth line:
Riding a team of horses:
Sobbing and weeping blood.
61 Confidence Within
The Statement of the second hexagram
Confidence within:
Pigs. Fish. Fortune.
Advance across the great river.
Gainful purity.
The Image of the first hexagram
Clouds and thunder: sprouting. The noble one
considers the principles.
The Image of the second hexagram
Wind above the lake:
inner truth.
The noble one
discusses the law
and grants reprieve
from execution.
