How to not stress?
and received a response of:
24 Returning
The Statement of the first 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 changing lines
The third line:
Urgent returning, harsh danger.
No fault.
The fourth line:
Returning alone
in the middle of the road.
55 Plentiful
The Statement of the second hexagram
Plentiful. Progress.
The great king arrives. Do not grieve.
All is right as the midday sun.
The Image of the first 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.
The Image of the second hexagram
Thunder and lightning
come fully: plentiful.
The wise one decides
lawsuits and applies
punishments.
