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

is there something growing between us?
and received a response of:
38 Estrangement
The Statement of the first hexagram
Estrangement.
In small matters: fortune.
The changing lines
The third line:
Seeing the wagon dragged back, his oxen
taken, his men's hair and noses cut off.
Not a beginning, but an ending.
The fourth line:
Estranged, one meets the main person.
A trustworthy exchange.
Severity is without fault.
26 Great Restraint
The Statement of the second hexagram
Gain by being upright.
Not eating at home brings fortune.
Advance across the great river.
The Image of the first hexagram
Fire above, lake below:
estrangement. The noble
one works with others,
but remains an individual.
The Image of the second hexagram
Heaven in the center of a
mountain: great restraint.
The noble one
frequently studies
the words and prophesies
of the past, and thereby
nourishes virtue.
