In trying to understand 62.5, the symbolism of the cave caught my eye. The cave has been symbolized as the womb, of rebirth, the unconscious, etc., as well as a respository of wisdom through experience....the heart of experience....many sages and hermits have visited/lived here.
In this instance is the prince to open his mind and heart for in the cave itself lies the answer to what or whom he seeks? Are we being asked or did something ignite our spiritual eye to see or take us beneath the surface.....is this where the truth lies? Is this where we step back and take a wider view........small things we never noticed before take on a new importance.

Symplegades (sim-PLEG-uh-deez). The Clashing Rocks, which smashed together upon any ship passing between them. Jason and the Argonauts had been advised to avoid this trap by causing a bird to fly ahead of their vessel. The Symplegades clashed together on its tail feathers, then drew apart in readiness to clash again. At this moment, the Argonauts sailed through safely, with only minor damage to the very stern of their ship.

"The flying bird leaves him."
'Him' can just as well be 'it'. But very interesting is 'leaving'. It is Li, the name of hexagram 30.
Dear María:"The flying bird leaves him."
Hi all,
Could someone explain me what the "flying bird" symbolize here and what the "him"
I assume that we are not that bird here but the "him" So what could be that bird ?
Thanks
Maria

NOT MEETING, PASSING SOMETHING [or SOMEONE]
not meeting something but passig it, mistakenly, by excess
like a lost arrow that doesn't meet its target
like a foolish person (a bird) that forgets his goals
FLYING BIRD LEAVES SOMETHING [or SOMEONE]
the bird that flyes is abandoning something, is deserting from something
OMINOUS
this should be of bad omen
IT'S SAID OF DISASTROUS ERROR
say, a fatal error
a disaster due to lack of vision
due to lose sight of goals or objectives

Take mourning. The sage exceeds in mourning. But what does that mean? I think it means giving up a portion of your own well being and good fortune and happiness, for a time. I don't think it can be measured by how much was spent on a funeral, or how many people attended. It's measured by the hearts of those who mourn. So to exceed in mourning is to exceed in sorrow. That's no small thing.
