what is the best way to save m?
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 third line:
A weak beam.
Misfortune.
45 Collecting
The Statement of the second hexagram
The king draws near to the temple:
gain by seeing a great person.
Make an offering with purity,
using great sacrificial beasts. Fortune.
Gain by having a place to go.
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
Lake above the earth.
Collecting. The noble one
collects the tools of war
to guard against
unforeseen danger.
