Under
the salty sea, the lord and lady of the waves swim with their family of
fish. The sun shines overhead, sending its warming rays through the
water. The Ten of Cups is a card of emotional fulfillment, and in this
particular card, there is more said by what is missing than what is
there. There is no castle under the sea and no "stuff" to put in it.
Why? Because true, lasting joy and contentment cannot be found by
accumulating things. It comes from participating in and appreciating
relationships - with humans, with Nature, and with the Higher Self.
I'll try to remember this lesson the next time a new deck catches my
eye...
From the set of cedar runes this morning comes "Berkano:"

Birch
leafy twig and little tree
and fresh young shrub.
Icelandic Rune Poem
The
rune Berkano ("birch") suggests growth and renewal, an appropriate draw
as the spring ends and summer begins. The birch tree is considered a
pioneer species - a species that is the first to establish itself on
land cleared by fire, flood, or man. I am reminded by this rune that
life is constantly changing, and endings allow for new beginnings to
take root. Life doesn't lie fallow for long...
