.Just for the record, my husband passed away shortly after getting his workshop completed. The Wilhelm translation of Abundance reads
Abundance has success.
The king attains abundance.
Be not sad.
Be like the sun at midday.
He did not have much time left to actually use this space he created. I think that says something about the nature of unchanging hexagrams. They tell what the situation is but indicate not much more may come from the situation.
p.s. He did enjoy just hanging out in his creation and the one project that did get completed was building a beautiful cradle for his newborn grandson - which will now be in the generations. Reading that line "Be not sad" now makes me feel good - like he really did get to achieve and experience the completion of a life goal before 56. Traveling on
Fire on the mountain:
The image of the WANDERER.
Thus the superior man
Is clear-minded and cautious
In imposing penalties,
And protracts no lawsuits.
When grass on a mountain takes fire, there is bright light. However, the fire does not linger in one place, but travels on to a new fuel. It is a phenomenon of short duration. This is what penalties and lawsuits should be like.
'So a noble one completes things with the firmness of a mountain, and uses the clarity of fire to cast light on decisions and endings. You have neither the resources or the time to get embroiled in long drawn-out wranglings, either with yourself or with others.'
'In it's static form , TRAVELLING may indicate that you are letting the grass grown under your feet. LI, clarity and fire, is burning a path across the mountainous, immovable lower trigram, KEN, seeking new fuel. You should recognise this time to move on when you have exhausted your resources or run out of creative energies. If you delay your departure, you may extinguish your flame.'
Watching that made me think of building of a large fire in a small hearth and burning the inn down.
Yes, I think she was well cast as an angel....and surely the Lord must be pleased at her 'joyful noise'. It said in the comments her family love it so much they've showed it each Christmas for years and there were many other comments praising her whole hearted participation. BTW I didn't notice at first but there is a real live baby in the crib seemingly unperturbed.
I can sense 56 as 'trail blazer' in the trigrams fire over mountain although I haven't noticed that quality in my actual casts. Have you ?
Blazing a trail reminds me of the star (fire) in the nativity story that the wise men followed. I can't help but kinda like the fact that the 56 thread has fallen over the Christmas period....
I have associate 56 with the concept of outliers in statistics, those observations that are outside the "normal" situation. My Stats teacher used to say us not to disregard them and don't get upset for ruining our models... usually they have something important to tell us.
Just now noticed this, Anemos - I love this comparison. Why 56, though, and not 38? I could see 38 as divergence from the mean. 56 could mean something going its own way, though, leaving the beaten path - is that how you meant it? Either way, thank you for noticing this!
Also I was looking for a food item that my grandma wanted, so I've visited 6 shops along the way, comparing prices
Another option (5) might be to find ways to blend in rather than stand out? I'm getting that general idea from Hilary's Oracle commentary, although I have no idea how it might specifically apply to you. (The story of King Hai is pretty extreme.)
What comes to mind is other actors. People who don't belong anywhere and who have their stuff scattered around in several cities at a time.You option (2) is recognizable - people who move around a lot making friends among their peers first.
But that assumes a ready-made and "findable" peer group - is that something you have?
... and happy journeys

keep in mind it's all temporary (obviously) Not to get snagged up on anything. When travelling one has good days....and bad days so an experienced traveller once told me. He told me there's days you feel lonely and everything goes wrong and there's wonderful days too....so you don't pay the bad days too much mind . You don't need to get too involved with anything or anyone if you are just passing through. Just adapt to the customs around you and don't draw too much attention to yourself. If it's obvious you are a traveller you can be vulnerable in some places so try to blend into the scenery. Keep your focus ahead of you...
