And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.
~Raymond Carver
The Four of Cups shows a swirl of apathy and depression. Perhaps it is ingratitude or preference that keeps us from seeing the love that surrounds us, or it may be that we've been conditioned not to trust that which appears as love. Either way, we stand in a pristine stream dying of thirst. The Beloved (John) represents those who remain present and ready to listen. They have no beliefs to impose, they just want us to know we are loved and to help us heal. For those of us who've had childhoods that didn't include this kind of love and belonging, a pet is often a good first step.
