From the Prisma Visions Tarot, the Five of Cups; from The Secret Language of Color Cards, Chocolate:
A young man nearly falls off a precipice as he releases three cups. That is how it often feels emotionally when we must let go of something or someone that has been a familiar constant in our lives. Yet it is better to let go of pain and allow for possibility. That cycle of emotional suffering never changes unless someone does something different. Chocolate symbolizes nourishment, not of the body necessarily, but of the spirit. It's not self-indulgence or self-pity we need during these times, but self-care and compassion.
The trick I suppose is to not go off the cliff with the release.
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely the tough part.
Deleteditto what Carolyn said. And recognize sometimes WE are the cups someone else is letting go.
ReplyDeleteOur clinging can make them cling - neither of which is good.
DeleteOuch, on the cup being me being tossed.
