I have zero emotion about the personal situation and apparently, neither does he.
What do I need to consider about making this trip?
56.2.4 > 18
I don't think so. Sour grapes. An uncle who had serious heart problems was so afraid that physical intimacy would kill him that he stopped all relations with my aunt -- not even a hug. She told me how neglected she felt. This is a common situation when a man develops heart disease, and I know no sure fix for it. The connection between sex and death is as old as Genesis, and a little heart disease releases these mythological ideas to run wild. If I were in your place (and I do not know exactly what that is) I would tell the guy, a hug won't kill you, and repeat it until his fears relaxed.
did not receive line 3:
The wanderer sets fire to their camp
And fails the young assistant
Persisting is hard to do
(I thinks so much of Hatcher's translation that I spent last Christmas typing it in.) So fire at your mountain cabin seems unlikely, although it is a good question as to how literally a casting should be taken.
The wanderer comes to a camp
Cherishing those resources
And earning a young helper's loyalty
The guy is helping you write a book. Why not renew this activity at the cabin? After all, if life is short, do it now. The late Frank Kegan gave this advice, and had he lived longer, I would have helped him clarify his ideas. I have done the best I could for the late and annoying Chris Lofting. Why let good minds go to waste?
The wanderer stays in a shelter
having secured some wherewithal and an axe
But lamenting "My heart is not at peace"
Now fess up. Your heart isn't at peace, is it? Don't let negativity ruin this vacation. Both of you need the relaxation. I remember that you were worried about him having a heart attack on a mountain road. It's unlikely, just as it's unlikely that a lightening strike will set afire your particular mountain. From my perspective, your greatest danger is food poisoning (hexagram 18), so if you are carrying any food, be certain that there is enough ice in the cooler. Good luck.
I asked Yi Ching: Why aren't we going? 47.6 > 6
He says he'll have more $ then, running low now because of delayed check at new job.
I asked Yi Ching: Why aren't we going? 47.6 > 6
Dear poised,
I believe that 47.6 >> 6 is saying that you're not going because the concerns are taking their toll on you both. This is the line for someone who gets exhausted because he/she thinks that problems are bigger than what they actually are. If you could just put your worries aside and go for a relaxing weekend you would see that things are not as daunting as they seem and probably would not cost the Earth or break the bank. What I have experienced with this line is that a change of outlook is called for. The exhaustion is in your mind. I do like Wilhelm/Baynes saying about this line "He is oppressed by creeping vines". So, just get rid of it for good.
Hope that helps a bit:bows:
Unbelievable. We are going after all. BECAUSE there is a fire in the area.
Friend is going to clear some brush. We're driving the northern route, the blue highway, because fire is approaching the freeway.
How is he going to clear this brush? Axe (line 4) or its modern equivalent, the chainsaw? These tools are dangerous to use. Don't let him hurt himself. And, is he up to such strenuous activity in the current heat? In my opinion clearing brush is probably pointless, and he'll just be stacking fuel on the ground. When going up a mountain, fire runs through the tree tops. You could do the guy much good if you can restrain his land clearing aspirations. Don't let him sacrifice himself for a physical object. Keep him hydrated, and insist that you leave on the first whiff of smoke. I saw conifer tree tops explode into flames in my childhood. It is like tanks of gasoline exploding.
