Should I call this friend? 22.3-27

[Grandma]

Me and a friend stopped calling each other for some reason, I ran into her the other day and she said give me a call. Should I?
I got 22.3-27 I read a previous thread on the subject and it seems like I can call her as long as I keep boundaries around our realtionship.I read tuck's i ching interpretation for this line and it seems to say don't be overwhelmed by the other person that I lose my "essence". I guess stand my ground sort of thing. Does that sound right?

I would agree with your interpretation. Another way of saying it is, Don't come under their spell, but be your own person. Don't let them control you. Do not let them charm you to the point where you are in their power.

Does this make sense?

Should I call this friend?
22.3 > 27

You are perfectly entitle to your individuality and autonomy, but the casting suggests that you would benefit from an association with your previous friend. She said call. What is there to lose? Affirm yourself in the call. Probably she esteems features you have that she does not possess. Hexagram 22 suggests the proprieties of friendship, hexagram 27, nurture. Line 3 suggests difficulties. Do not let this friend dominate you. You are a unique individuality, and as long as your friend recognized and values your individuality, all will go well. You need only to stand up for yourself, which will do you good in other relationships.

To get line three moving in hex 22 usually signifies that the element of moistness enters in, and that means it can be like rain in your face when you're trying to get something definite done: an annoying distraction. But it can also be a dewy moistness which you enjoy, if there's nothing on the agenda but fun, play, and splashing around in a beautiful pool. So, the interpretation of this line all depends on other factors, like what your goals are.

Thanks so much Gene, Ginnie and Poco

yes, all your interpretations make sense. I do have a problem with bieng too passive and this has caused me many problems with relationships. Yes, also, I see that keeping my boundaries in this realtionship will be good practice with other relationships. But I am glad to see the positive side of the relationship via your interpretations.
Also yes, when there was something to be accomplished with her it didn't happen so I think the upshot is I can be friends with her but not to try to do anything but hang out and talk no other goals and keep my boundaries.
thanks so much there are different aspects in each of your interpretations that brought more clarity to my question and they are a relief also as I did want to be friends with her but wasn't trusting her and now I see where part of the mistrust comes in when she would promise more than she delivered.
