__  __ Hexagram Fifty-Nine:  
       Huan / Dissolution

Wind carries the Mists aloft:
Sage rulers dedicated their lives
to serving a Higher Power
and built temples 
that still endure.

The King approaches his temple.
Success if you stay on course.
You may cross to the far shore.



Hexagram Fifty-Nine/Line One:
He gives aid
with the strength
and stamina of a horse.
Good fortune.


Hexagram Fifty-Nine/Line Two:
When his dreams evaporate
to mist on the breeze,
he returns to
his well of strength.
Regret is washed away.


Hexagram Fifty-Nine/Line Three:
His ego dissolves
and the void is filled
with his Self.
No more
fear and frustration.


Hexagram Fifty-Nine/Line Four:
He scatters his group
far and wide.
Those who return
will be of firmer resolve
and leaner, stronger fibre.
An ingenious move.


Hexagram Fifty-Nine/Line Five:
He cries in pain
as he sweats out this fever.
The king opens
the royal stockpile
to his subjects.
No mistake.


Hexagram Fifty-Nine/Line Six:
He follows the trail
of his own blood
to safety.
