Commentary

Thunder above heaven gives way to the doubled mountain of Keeping Still. Coming and going follow their proper seasons, moving north and south without worry. The traveler presses on and arrives swiftly; the one abroad returns home safely. The verse reads as a simple blessing of orderly movement — departures and arrivals governed by natural rhythm rather than anxiety. From Great Power to Keeping Still, the transformation traces how forceful movement resolves into composed stillness. The twin mountains of Gen hold their positions, 'thinking does not exceed its place.' The traveler who arrives has completed the journey; the wanderer who returns has found his resting point. Power fulfills itself not in perpetual motion but in knowing when to stop.
