And yet, on the other hand… the experience of the thing is so often more like Already Crossing (which is how Karcher translates it). A decision’s been taken or a commitment made, and things have been set in motion. You are not starting from a blank slate (sometimes this one comes up in readings to point out you’re not asking from a blank slate); you’re not setting off from a standstill, but from a moving base.
'Athwart' is always a good word... I think the only place I've met it was in 'Kubla Kahn' with something 'cedarn'...
'If one stands still at the end, disorders arise, because the way comes to an end.'
On the one hand, ‘Already Across’ is certainly a good, literal translation of the name of Hexagram 63.

Wow, I just now realized the difference you are pointing out here (or at least I think I do?) I'm looking at it as 'already across' and 'already complete' (hexagram names from Rutt and Hatcher) - as in something - e.g. a river crossing - has been completed.About 'crossing' vs 'crossed' - 'crossed' works if you take that, as you've done here
