what is your guidance for me in this talk tonight with CH?
  
  
    and received a response of:
  
  
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    13 Kindred
  
  
    
      
      The Statement of the first hexagram
    
    
      The kindred in the wilderness. 
Continue. 
Advance across the great river. 
Gain by a wise one's purity.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The first line:
    The kindred at the gate. 
No fault.  
  
    The third line:
    Armed and lying in ambush 
under the thicket. Looming above 
is their high mound. 
For three years, there is no rising.  
  
    The fifth line:
    The kindred first wail and yet later laugh: 
great armies are able to meet.  
     
   
 
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    35 Advancing
  
  
    The Statement of the second hexagram
  
  
   Marquis Kang receives gifts 
of many breeding horses,
welcoming them three times 
in one day.
  
   
 
     
    
        
    The Image of the first hexagram
  
  
    Fire rises into heaven: 
kindred. The noble one 
groups and sorts 
all that must be done.  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
  
  
    Brightness emerges above 
the earth: advancing. 
The noble one brightens 
her own virtue.
