What is the result of offering these opinions?
6.5 > 64
I associate hexagram 6 with withdrawal and 64 with transition. That is the situation of your friend. The line text is auspicious and seems to refer to the case you made. The result should be that he will be more aware of his situation. Hexagram 64 concerns the danger of a winter accident, and I think you covered that in your email.
Will he be in touch anymore?
28.2 > 31
Both hexagram suggests contact, so I would say Yes. You were supportive of his situation (28) and 31 suggests attachment. Line 2 is auspicious and suggests a person redefining himself (looking at his future). I am reminded of Walden, Thoreau's place of solitude, yet two chapters are devoted to visitors -- 6. Visitors, and 14. Former Inhabitants and Winter Visitors. Somewhere he considers the dangers of solitary living, and although it's not described in the book, his stay was not without peril. In the second year he was kicked by a horse. I think his spleen was injured, and he never wholly recovered.
I wanted to respond intially but both hex 6 and 28.2 i have no insights or anything of value to say.
...except maybe remembering patro's thread on 28 and rosada pointing out that it represents a telephone line with two receivers or something like that.
I was also interested in what LiSe had to say about 6.5 being The Gong -- but I've never really understood the implications of that. Is The Gong some pronouncement that seems oppressive or more something that is taken in to good effect -- more like a "wake up" call?
I think theres the idea of a mediator in 6.5...you aren't just arguing you are trying to work through to something In practise of course there generally isn't some mediator hanging around in real life situations
. . 28 is about a strong line between two 'receivers' (1st and 6th) . .
'The noble young one, accordingly, stands alone and undaunted
And steps back from the world without sorrow'
there is afterall nothing to lose by staying in touch is there ?
A caring woman's wise and compassionate words should never be underestimated as having a comforting effect to a man who has moved into isolation and may be clinging to his memories, so long as the woman respects that his needs may involve aspects not entirely known to her. That's how I interpret 6.5-64, in this case.
Sounds like you've tapped into his keg.
