60.4.5>54 and 13.3.5>21 -- enstranged from a friend

Hello,

a dear friend of mine is very stressed and aloof these times. I was also not in the best mood when we still were in contact months ago and unfortunately couldn't deal well with her, so we had a mild conflict and are enstranged these days. I decided to accept her withdrawal completely and also withdrew, in order not to complicate things between us. Now, missing her, I am still and again tempted to contact her just for showing her that I still like her and that she is always welcome. That may sound like no harm could be done with such an innocent action, but I am not sure if she wouldn't find me intrusive.

I asked the Yi if I should just say hello without asking for further contact and it gave me the following answer:

60.4.5 > 54


I am not sure. Hex 54 as a background talks of my 'subordinate' position in our friendship right now,
line 4 suggest indeed to 'restrain' myself, but doesn't line 5 say that it would be okay to go and to contact her as long as I don't ask for anything? Or am I wrong and the Yi says that leaving the situation like it is will lead to successfully approaching her later?

I asked for further clarification and received 13.3.5 > 21

Okay, line 5 clearly speaks of the heart connection and that there is a great chance that eventually everything will be okay between us, but I am not sure about line 3. Does line 3 say in this context that the situation is too messed up to overcome and I should leave it for now? Or is the Yi encouraging me to 'bite trough' the obstacles and to try overcoming the enstrangement (at least a much as possible)

Thanks a lot in advance for your opinons - as you surely know it is often difficult to see clear when you are in the middle of a situation.

Best regards, equinox
