The Master Therion I-Ching

Hexagram # 61

Hexagram 61. Chung Fu
Inner Truth KUNG FU

Supreme sincerity; thy wish fulfilled.
For this moves even pigs and fish.  

Trust thyself, repose in thine own sphere.  
But welcome and reciprocate a good cheer.  
A mate involves vicissitudes b that vary:  
He travels fast who travels solitary!  
Men are most loyal to men most sincere;  
But failure's for sky-soaring chanticleer! c

    

a reciprocate: "to move backwards and forwards," and also, most likely the meaning here: "to exchange," "to give in requital."  
    b vicissitudes: "changing conditions."  
    c chanticleer: "a cock," "a rooster."
