Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others

why is this on my mind now?
and received a response of:
56 Traveler
The Statement of the first hexagram
Traveler. Slight progress.
Be steadfast in travel: fortune.
The changing lines
The fourth line:
A traveler in a dwelling place
gets his wealth and ax.
My heart is unhappy.
The sixth line:
A bird sets fire to its nest. A traveler
first laughs, afterward howls and weeps.
Loses an ox in barter. Misfortune.
15 Humility
The Statement of the second hexagram
Humility imbues.
The noble one gets completion.
The Image of the first hexagram
Fire on the mountain:
traveler. The noble one is
clear-minded and cautious
in meting out punishment
and yet does not delay trial.
The Image of the second hexagram
Mountains in the middle
of the earth: humility.
The wise person
takes from the ample
to add to the meager,
weighing and balancing
fairly.
