Yes. In my experience here with the kids I was imagining I would sail in and be this Super Grandma and I'm realizing my ideas of how to run a household - lists, schedules, dinner table discussions - just aren't the way it's done here, sigh...
A conversation with the Fan Yaos might go like this:
59.1
I'm here to help!
61.1
Uh, prepare yourself Grandma. the truth is your design of how a house should run isn't the same as ours.
59.2
Oh..well hey, no problem, we don't need to follow my ideas, I'm here to follow your ideas!
20.2
Uh, you still don't understand. You may not see it but our lives don't always include you.
59.3
Oh..well, yes, of course, I don't need to be included all the time...
57.3
All the time, some of the time, whatever .. you just don't seem to get the point.
59.4
Oh I get it alright. I may be the mother but this household already has a wife - and I need to get a life.
6.4
Thanks Mom, glad you understand. We do love you, you know.
59.4 - This is how I am going to serve.
There is a real sense of wringing out the old and ringing in the new here in this line.
Mike
Serving can mean all sorts of things to all different people.Serving ?
59.5
0 Nine in the fifth place.
a) His loud cries are as dissolving as sweat.
Dissolution! A king abides without blame.

p.s. It occurs to me this hexagram could be all about Let go and Let God.
59.5 Crikey, I've got it! Or it's got me!
p.s. It occurs to me this hexagram could be all about Let go and Let God.
Hi Rosada:Any ideas? This seems like a really really scary line to me, like suicide.

59.6
Nine at the top means:
He dissolves his blood.
Departing, keeping at a distance, going out,
Is without blame.
The idea of the dissolving of a man's blood means the dispersion of that which might lead to bloodshed and wounds, i.e., avoidance of danger. But here the thought is not that a man avoids difficulties for himself alone, but rather that he rescues his kin - helps them to get away before danger comes, or to keep at a distance from an existing danger, or to find a way out of a danger that is already upon them. In this way he does what is right.
-Wilhelm
Looking at Charley's post and the bit about scattering seed and thinking how at the end of it's life the flower scatter's it's seed. So is there some reference here to 59.6 as being at the very end of the life cycle and at that point man's duty is to scatter his seed? That is, before dying a man wants to beget children? Could 59.5 be ejaculation and then, 59.6, though the male dies, his seed is scattered?
