Contemplation: the ablution has been made, but not yet the offering. Full of trust they look up to him. The tower stands on the hill, seen from every side and seeing all sides — this is the hexagram of the view: the pause between preparation and act, in which one contemplates and is contemplated. Sincerity at this station moves others more than any deed.
The wind blows over the earth: the kings of old visited the regions of the world, contemplated the people, and gave them instruction. Understanding is gathered by travel of the eye and mind — the wise survey before they legislate.
Stop and look — this is the oracle's whole instruction. You stand at a vantage point between what has been prepared and what will be done, and the power of the moment lies in contemplation: survey your situation from above, observe the people in it, notice what patterns the height reveals. Know also that you are being watched — your bearing in this pause is itself your most persuasive act. Decisions made after true contemplation carry a different weight; the view is the work right now.
