Hexagram 40: Deliverance (่งฃ Xie) โ€” Thunder over Water

The storm has passed. Tension releases. What was blocked flows freely again. Like True Lavender, Hexagram 40 embodies the grace of deliverance โ€” the gentle release of what has been held too tightly, the restoration of natural flow. The superior one pardons mistakes and forgives misdeeds.
