Why Hexagram 39?

ok to get started, why Hexagram 39?

I asked the i Ching to give me some guidance for  blog name that would fit my intention:

to share with you the weird and informative (hopefully) things I'm working on.

The result: Hexagram 39

Cast Hexagram: 


39 - Thirty-Nine

Chien / Obstacle


Ominous roiling in the Crater Lake atop the Volcano:
When meeting an impasse, the Superior Person turns his gaze within, and views the obstacle from a new perspective.

Offer your opponent nothing to resist.
Let a sage guide you in this.
Good fortune lies along this course.


SITUATION ANALYSIS:


The Obstacle lies in obstinance.
An insistence on only one way of proceeding has brought things to an impasse.
You may either continue banging your head with irresistible force against this immovable object, or you might step back and survey this situation from a fresh perspective.
Which is immobile here -- the obstruction or your attitude?



This could be extremely fitting... so here goes

so, thanks iChing online--
