what is his approch to me now?
and received a response of:
28 Great Excess
The Statement of the first hexagram
The ridgepole sags.
Gain by having a place to go.
Continue.
The changing lines
The second line:
A withered trunk bursts with fresh vetch.
An old man takes a wife. Nothing but gain.
The sixth line:
Fording, wading, head submerged.
Misfortune, but without fault.
33 Withdrawal
The Statement of the second hexagram
Withdrawal. Continue.
Small gains in persisting.
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.
The Image of the second hexagram
A mountain under heaven:
withdrawal.
The noble one keeps
distant from vile people,
not with hatred,
but with dignity.
