Fluid not Fixed

From the Roots of Asia Tarot, the Page of Cups; from the Earth Power Oracle, the "Valley of the Kings:"

Around the Page of Cups swim lobsters, crabs, dolphins, assorted fish and possibly a crocodile. These animals represent the variety of emotions he experiences. I've often heard that you should sit with your emotions, noticing the thoughts that come and the physical manifestations. The Page seems pretty serene to be surrounded by so many feelings; such an immersion scares the hell out of me. But Buddhist teachers suggest I'll see how my transient and fluid my emotions are. Like a thunderstorm, they may show up looking full of fury and force, but they eventually ebb and fade away.
The Valley of the Kings is located in a desert valley of Luxor, Egypt. Tombs of 63 kings and nobles have been uncovered here, including that of Tutankhamun. But what amazes me more than the mummified bodies are the things included to be used after death. Not just jewelry, treasures and sacred items but more mundane things like underwear, food and pets. I wonder how those pharaohs would feel about their boxers being displayed in a museum. Again I am reminded that everything changes and passes away; what I fear today probably won't even be a passing thought a year from now. Physical or emotional, it's all in flux.
