A
couple hold hands while sitting at a table, their body posture
reflecting their feelings for each other. Behind them is a farm house
and a field of grain, implying a relationship that is both stable and
productive. My concern is the one cup balanced on the edge, ready to
take a spill if the table is even lightly bumped. This image prompts me
to be aware of how fragile friendships and partnerships can be in the
realm of humans. It is a bond that requires continuous effort on the
part of both parties. While commonality is a thread that seems to weave
itself through my connections with others, the most important facet for
me is honest and respectful communication. The ability to hear with an
open heart and mind as well as speak the truth is what can help that
cup stay firmly on the table.

From the Philosopher's Stone deck today comes the card "Solution:"
I
don't know of any adult who hasn't at some point felt up against a
brick wall like this one. And the question mark made of stone seems to
taunt, "What am I going to do now? How will I ever resolve this?" And
generally, if there are other people involved, comes the question, "Why
can't they see it my way?" But if I look at the question mark
from the side, rather than from the front, it appears to be an
exclamation mark instead. The uncertainty suddenly turns into an "aha"
moment. In the same way, I need to learn to see from a new perspective
(possibly from someone else) in order to get a new angle on the
problem. Otherwise, I may end up staring at that brick wall for a long
time...
