Hi urbansugar! I'm also a total beginner, so take this with a grain of salt, but here's what I see: It seems to me that the relating hexagram, 27, suggests that you do in fact have power to nourish/improve/impact this relationship through your words and actions. The changing lines in 53 likewise seem to show images that are relevant for your situation, as the hexagram seems to focus on the progress of a relationship. Lines 1, 3 and 5 show the journey of geese gradually moving towards a place of safety. In the first line, they cautiously approach a riverbank, in the third they come to an unsafe place and suffer a setback, but in the fifth line they reach a literal summit of a hill which also seems to be a metaphorical place of success and attainment.

It seems to me that the hexagram is saying that what is in your power is your ability to be persistent and patient with the relationship, even through setbacks and difficulties. This theme of constancy is also apparent in the image: a tree growing on a mountain. As Hilary writes in her book, "The tree on the mountain grows very slowly compared to the one in the valley; it needs to put down strong roots."

So in short, my (beginner's) understanding is that you have the power to improve and nourish your relationship through patient resilience.
