Last couple years I've really gotten into long distance hiking- completed 2 5-month hikes, another that was 1 month, and some 1 week jobbies. In August I attempted another mid-distance hike, which I would have had to break a speed record to complete in the time allotted with vacation time. Well, it didn't get finished (it would have been a real stretch!), but I did get a majority of it done. I would consider it finished if I could get the rest of it within a year.

During the 2 5-month hikes I was in a period of limbo where I travelled full time for 2.5 years. 2 years ago I moved back to "civilization" and kinda figuring out where I am at this point in life. I have gone through a bunch of changes with work, in general I have a pretty good work situation now (one that actually gives me half the week off!). I also have an amazing boyfriend, and I live in a more calm environment (last place I lived was very very stressful).

There's the possibility to go knock out another 60 miles or so over a couple days in a week+ from now. I have the funds to do it (well, flight vouchers n credit card points). My schedule is pretty free, I know my boyfriend would miss me but I could do it so we even hang out right before I leave, so it would only be couple days without seeing each other. He's been so supportive so far. Also a little worried about not being in shape on my instrument (I have some gigs when I get back), but I haven't really been practicing much on my instrument sooooo...? I asked yi and and got 33.2 to 44.

I'm unsure if it's saying that I have this strong bond to this thru hiking thing, but it doesn't fit my current lifestyle, so let it go, it's not the time for it? OR that the bond and commitment is strong and in this case it makes sense to pursue it to completion.

Hi poeticwalking
The yes/no nature of your question does add to the uncertainty in interpreting the answer.

Hex 33 - Retiring means you withdraw
Hex 44 - Coupling means meeting; supple meets firm.

I'd look at this as saying that you are moving within a situation where you have encountered something new and unexpected (perhaps in a way unsettling for you) (44) and that the way through this is to adopt a strategy of tactical retreat. Distance yourself and pull away to a place of safety until you are better prepared to welcome a solution to the situation(33).

You are drawn to hiking because that is where you see things more clearly: you can really be yourself. Although other things are attractive to you they do not hold the same sway as the independance you feel on those long distance hikes . Right now you are tied to the idea of escaping, that is what is important to you, and nothing is going to shake it loose. (33.2)

Good Luck

Cool thanks. Yeah I am just realizing now, could have phrased the question better. I also kinda feel like I didn't really convey as well that yeah, I feel not even independence, but freedom- the ability to just sit in the dirt and walk at my leisure, be dirty, be weird. It is a good way for me to recharge for sure.

It's certainly not telling you to let it go it's saying you can't let it go. That's what it actually says, Hilary's translation from wiki


'Holding onto it, use yellow cowhide.
It will never be capable of getting loose.'

It may also be advising you get some good footwear - there's a joke here somewhere. You can't let this go it's part of you. You may want to withdraw but also take this along with you, infact you have no choice it's tied to you. If you don't do it you'll be thinking about doing it.

I don't think it's advising you one way or the other it's just saying this is such an intrinsic part of you, it's like the leather ties on your shoes, can't get loose. I don't think you have a choice with 33.2, that's why the 44 is the relating. This is something that's so much part of you there isn't any real choice here, you couldn't let this go if you tried.

I wonder if another aspect might be that if this is (or since this is) really important to you, you'll have to tie it on very firmly to make sure it stays in your life? 44 is a powerful and transformative attraction, but one that tends not to last long. (See this blog article Hilary wrote.) So it might take rather extraordinary measures if you want to keep it a priority.

What instrument do you play, by the way? (Unless you'd rather not say, of course.)

(And now I'm not sure at all about what I just said about the reading. Probably should have 😶.)

Hello Poeticwalking!

Resist(33) the temptation (44) to hike; rest in the place (33.2) for now.

Good luck!

33.2 does not say to rest. You can't ignore what the line text says - it simply says what it says

No, you don't have to tie it on firmly it is tied utterly. I've such a lot of experience with this line (which sounds conceited but anyway...) I'm very very clear this line does not ask you to withdraw nor does it ask you to tie things tight to yourself.

The answer isn't 44.2 it's 33.2. 33.2 is the 44ness of 33. Something transformative and powerful holds you deep inside. That doesn't mean treat the answer like it's totally 44 and withdraw and anyway 44 isn't totally to do with avoidance, it's a catalyst also. So this catalyst changes you and you carry it with you.

Another thought is 33.2 as the 44ness of 33 is this is the maverick line, the line doesn't go along with all the others in retreat, that is the 44 ness of it.
