Persisting through struggle

Line 4 of Gate 28 operates through persistence when circumstances demand it. Where the gate's broader theme concerns managing excess and navigating extremes, this line adds a quality of stubborn endurance, the capacity to grip tightly through difficulty rather than let go prematurely. It's rooted in the Spleen, which governs survival instinct and intuitive knowing about what's sustainable.
