5 Waiting
The Statement of the first hexagram
Waiting. Stay confident:
there is light everywhere.
Pure fortune.
Advance across the great river.
The changing lines
The second line:
Waiting in the sand.
The small will talk.
At last, good fortune.
63 Already Across
The Statement of the second hexagram
Already across. Continue.
Small gain: be steadfast.
In the beginning, fortune.
At the end, disorder.
The Image of the first hexagram
Clouds rising to heaven:
waiting. The noble one
drinks, eats,
and feasts with joy.
The Image of the second hexagram
Water on top of fire:
already across. The wise
one prepares for calamity
by forethought.
