Stick Sixty — Stick Sixty · Guihai, the Sea That Receives the Rivers
癸亥
Every river ends here, and nothing ends here:
the sea hands the water back to the sky
and the cycle signs its name.
Guihai closes the sixty-pair cycle: all water returned to the sea, the round complete. As a timing stick, it marks an ending that is really a rotation — a chapter finishing so cleanly that its material becomes the next chapter’s rain. The favourable counsel is ceremonial: close the books deliberately, note what the cycle taught, release what it carried. Endings honoured this way have a way of returning as weather.
