59. Release from Obstacles · 渙 上九
Line 6 of hexagram 59
In practice
Get away in time from whatever puts you and your people in danger. Withdrawing now isn't running away: it's dissolving the risk before it reaches you, and there's no mistake in that.
The poetry
Scatters its blood; goes away, departs far off. No fault.
上九：渙其血，去逖出，无咎。
象曰：渙其血，遠害也。
