what does he want with me?
and received a response of:
9 Smallness Tames
The Statement of the first hexagram
Smallness tames. Persevere.
Dense clouds, no rain
at my western border.
The changing lines
The first line:
Return to your own Way.
How can this be wrong?
The sixth line:
Rain is done, all is in place. Respect and virtue
are full. Yet a woman's chastity is imperiled.
When the moon is nearly full,
the prince attacks: misfortune.
48 Well
The Statement of the second hexagram
Well. A city may change,
but the well does not.
It does not lose, it does not gain.
In spite of all who come and go from a well,
it remains a well.
But if the rope cannot reach,
or if the well's vase is upended:_
misfortune.
The Image of the first hexagram
Wind moving high
in heaven: smallness tames.
The noble one acts
with restraint, culture,
and morals.
The Image of the second hexagram
Wood above water: well.
The noble one encourages
the people and lends them
assistance.
