Hi Anon.
I like your observation immensely
I am not a great fan of the first three lines of this hexagram at all? except in spiritual matters when the whole hexagram takes on a wonderful glow of not too dissimilar from Return.
Taking the line progression approach:
Line four is the first line in the outer world of the upper hexagram? the inner world re-construction/stripping is already done. One here is moving to the time of line five where one can happily thread the little fishes of life on a string with the help of others.
This line four changing is at the bottom of the trigram Kan or Mountain? An outside world where stillness and endings pervades.
It leads (through its change to Hx. 35 ? So there is promise that, by the correct use of this time, things will get a lot better.
Finally It sits in a relationship with line 3 in 24? Which adds a little depth to the nature of this time. Try reading the lines together as one would if they were written one on each side of a card which flips back and forth.
This hexagram line reminds me of being at sea at the end of a long stormy night? the dawn is still grey, the ferocity has gone out of the wind, but is still blowing hard and the seas are still very lumpy. It is not the time to push on by letting a few reefs out of the sail and to push on. Everyone is tired? stand still for a while. The sun will pierce the low grey clouds that are still screaming along. One can even do some fishing in line 5 later
I guess I am saying that line 4 is pretty good if one has survived the change long enough to get it
Thanks
