Hex 61.2.3 > 37

[hexagon]

My two year heart and soul love/lust/longing for someone at work is drawing to a close. I am saddened by the fact that he is leaving for another job. So I asked Yi:

Should I attend the party for him next Friday in order to say goodbye, and received:

Hex 61(Inner Truth).2.3 > 37 (Family). From reading Karcher, line 2 says "this is the profound call of one soul to another. Respond to it.It can change your life. I interpret this to mean that I should attend, but I know I will leave without getting my heart's desire - his amour attention, based on line 3 which says "there is little I can do in this relationship," and that "this situation may trap you." Profound insight, as I have felt trapped with him for 2 years!
The resulting 37 Family I interpret to be an understanding into this relationship and that not all will be lost attending.
One more thing - I asked Yi in desperation two days ago, Is there hope of a future with David? and received Hex30.2>14 (Possesion in Great Measure). Here's an interesting twist - I believe the Yi answered the question the way I wanted to hear it and not how it really is - so I asked Yi " Is the answer to my last question true? and received Hex 45 (Gathering Together.6>12 (Stagnation). This melodrama is nearing an end, and for those of you who were kind enough to offer your interpretation, I thank you. Feedback welcome!

There is always hope and this simply says yes to your hope.

Is the answer to my last question true? and received Hex 45 (Gathering Together.6>12

Hex 45.6 You should read this line carefully as it points to your dilemma exactly, intentions are first misunderstood which causes you to be sad, the other person sees your sadness and a connection is made.

Thank you again WillowFox. So you view this line to be the crux of my dilemma - something I have had with this dynamic/relationship since it's inception. Karcher says " This connection is difficult. You pay for it with your tears. Communication is obstructed. Proceed step by step. Wow. Mi amour is a transient, difficult person to read. I've been spinning my wheels for some time now. I probably don't help the situation by adding my own spin to this tall tale. Truth be told, love him as I do, Yi is telling me that it's not a good fit. After all is said and done, will attending the going away party still be a good move? I guess if I view it with absolutely no ulterior motive, then all will be well. You mention that he sees my sadness and is moved by that and a connection is made. Hmmm... bottom line.. is there still hope of connection between us? The party is almost over, and the truth shall set us free.

I don't like Karcher's interpretations, so I never bother to even read them anymore.

Willowfox - I enjoy the simple clarity of many of your answers. What would you recommend as a good I Ching book to read?
