27. Nourishment (I)

Mountain with thunder. Suggests careful attention to nourishment of body and spirit.

Line 1: You let your magic tortoise go, and look at me with the corners of your mouth drooping. Misfortune.
Line 2: Turning to the summit for nourishment, deviating from the path to seek nourishment from the hill. Continuing this brings misfortune.
Line 3: Turning away from nourishment. Perseverance brings misfortune. Do not act thus for ten years. Nothing serves to further.
Line 4: Turning to the summit for provision of nourishment brings good fortune. Spying about with sharp eyes like a tiger with insatiable craving. No blame.
Line 5: Turning away from the path. To remain persevering brings good fortune. One should not cross the great water.
Line 6: The source of nourishment. Awareness of danger brings good fortune. It furthers one to cross the great water.
