Returning

Thunder within the earth: Returning

ancient kings on the extreme day closed the passes; merchants and travelers did not travel, the sovereign did not inspect the regions.

Returning: coming through. Going out and entering without illness, friends come, no blame. Returning repeatedly to the way; in seven days it returns. Advantageous to have a purposeful direction.

Returning is coming through; the strong returns, moving and thus proceeding in accordance, therefore going out and entering is without illness, and friends come, no blame. Returning repeatedly to the way, in seven days it returns—this is the course of Heaven. Advantageous to have a purposeful direction, for the strong grows. In returning, does one see the heart of Heaven and Earth?
