Yes, go ahead.People's hearts, or the situation, have scattered and need to be drawn together again.
Governing text · Huan: Six at the beginning
In plain wordsThings are only beginning to scatter; hurry to the rescue, and there is a strong horse whose strength you can borrow. Good fortune. If your own strength is not enough, go along with the strong person beside you.
- Now
- Wind blows across the water and it disperses. What is scattering may be people's hearts, or it may be a knot inside your own.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Six at the beginning. The answer is in that line. This text describes a good outcome. Act the way it says and the matter can succeed. The promise has a condition: keep to the right course.
- Where it is heading
- Things are moving toward Zhongfu (Inner Truth): Sincerity moves people. This matter rests on one word: trust.
- What to do
- Find what can bring everyone back together: a shared belief or goal. Let go of self-interest and small cliques. Dissolving the knot inside you is itself a good thing. The big hurdle can be crossed.
