The weary traveler arrives at a tranquil resting place and is given his traveling expenses in spade coins. Despite the momentary relief, unease lingers in the hearts of those present. This scenario reflects the meaning behind the I Ching hexagram 56.4, highlighting the temporary nature of respite and the underlying uncertainty that accompanies every journey. The traveler’s rest is brief and his path forward remains unclear, reminding us that while moments of solace are welcomed, true peace can only be found when the heart is at ease.
