No. 45, Gathering Together / Bringing Together

"Letting oneself be drawn
Brings good fortune and remains blameless.
If one is sincere,
It furthers one to bring even a small offering."

"You may feel mysteriously drawn to certain people or endeavors, although this may not be what you had planned for yourself. Give in to this impulse." [Wing]
"At the time of Gathering Together, we should make no arbitrary choice of the way. There are secret forces at work, leading together those who belong together. We must yield to this attraction; then we make no mistakes." [Wilhelm]

Who are you being mysteriously drawn to? Don't dismiss this person as too fat, too old, too young, not in your league --- whatever. Is it an "endeavour" that is intriguing you? A job or business you'd like to try, but --- it doesn't pay enough, the commute would be too long, you'd never be able to raise the capital?
