The Wanderer
Hexagram 56 of the Yi Jing · 旅 Lǚ
The figure
Fire above the Mountain: fire not lingering on the mountain, the passing flame. The image of the wanderer, of the stranger on the way.
What this figure illuminates
The Wanderer lights up situations of passage, where you are passing through without anchorage. Rightness here lies in measure: neither imposing as if at home, nor losing yourself — staying yourself, light and attentive.
For a decision, the figure invites the right distance: “in this situation where I'm not at home, how do I stay dignified and prudent without rooting where I'm only passing?”.
A question to keep
In what is only a passage, how do you stay right without rooting?
