Old love reconnects

[nygirl]

Fell in love in my 20's, he was married. Years later we reconnected, he showed all of his heart, we made plans to be together & before that could happen, his wife had a serious illness. I ended it since there was no resolution, nothing to be done. She died 10 years ago, I found this information last week, wrote him a letter and we spoke just last night.
He has remarried, but still admits I was the love of his life, and he was mine. He still wants to keep in touch (phone) even though I said I couldn't see him, that would be playing with fire. He knows that I have no plans to marry again or really have any relationship. Not interested in general, not just because of my feelings for him. The only one I would choose to be with is him, but as they say timing is everything, and that was never our strong point.
I asked "what does the universe say" to this news and got 41.6. Yes, it is/has diminished? Because we were out of touch so long?
Then I asked what the lesson was, how could I regard our current situation now, and got 2, no changing lines. I understand receptive, but does this give any hope? I think now that I tried to connect it could open the door again...please help me find some clarity here.

I would think it means to be receptive to the situation, which is not conducive at the present time to your getting back together. Maybe at some future time, but I would not recommend it for right now. The other meaning is "devoted" not necessarily to him but to the situation, allowing it to happen as it happens when the time is right, not taking action to try to create something right now.

Gene,

Thank you. I can feel that he wants me to be receptive to further contact, and I can not say I would close the door like last time. He knows my agreement to this continued contact is a big deal, given my feelings and his current circumstance of being re-married.

41.6 speaks of diminishing, but what of changing line? This in response to my question "what does the Universe say/". Is the diminishing time coming to an end, and now a fresh start?

Hi, Nygirl! Cannot try to help with my limited knowledge on the Yi but do have one question. He didn't try to get in touch with you 10 years ago when he became "free"?

 

[nygirl]

Yes, he tried for a year to find me, I had moved out of state.

 

[icegrapefruit]

Oh my, bad timing indeed.

Today I asked what is the best way to draw him closer to me and got 22.1.2.5, Grace & Beauty then 9, Gentle Penetration.

I understand 9, but 22 is a bit obscure to me- and this is the main hexagram I drew.Can anyone give their thoughts to this?

And by "draw him closer" I don't mean thru an agenda or plan, but how I could help him stay in touch with the emotions I am sure he is feeling after we talked and feel closer to me despite current circumstances.....
