Zhuge Oracle Lesson 345

Oracle Text

Who says the home village holds no savor?
adrift on lake and sea, at the edge of the sky;
sigh as you will—
the mid-autumn moon hides, spring rain drenches the flowers;
how many wanderers long, and long, for home.

Interpretation

Those who draw this oracle may be on the road all year round, tasting the full bitterness of loneliness, and often think yearningly of home.
