HEXAGRAM 40: RELEASE

Deliverance. Go home if you can, otherwise finish your task quickly and take your leave.

The Lines (base to top)

Nothing is wrong with nothing
Foxes shot with bronze arrows
Fancy bags attract attention
Come on, friends are arriving
Let the big palooka go
Shooting a hawk on a hill

Commentary

Thunder over water.

The fish will bite. Get your limit and head back before lightning strikes.

Sometimes you've got to be quick.
