Override

From the Lukumi Tarot, the Four of Cups; from the Diloggun Oracle, Ogbe (eight mouths):

Now, Voyager, sail thou forth, to seek and find.

― Walt Whitman

          Here is a new take on the Four of Cups; rather than focusing on the broken, useless cups, this family fully enjoys the one cup that overflows. Our minds are primed by biology for negativity bias, but we do have the ability to override that innate pattern. As Whitman encourages, we should seek and find the good that is available and revel in it. Ogbe's (eight mouths) ethic and proverb read:

Ifa: Those who attain blessings are those who live by their wisdom. If we do not bear suffering that will fill a basket, we will not receive blessings that will fill a cup.

Proverb: The heart of the wise lay quiet like still waters.

Part of the override involves recognizing and accepting that suffering -  in the forms of aging, sickness, and change/impermanence - is a part of everyone's life. Rather than stewing in 'Why?!' we can look for skillful ways to adjust and adapt. It's not personal, it's just how the natural cycle operates.
