Love What is Left

From the Ferret Tarot, the Five of Cups; from the Nature's Wisdom Oracle, Rose:

Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world, which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling in at night. ― Edna St. Vincent Millay

          To live is to know loss. The initial knowledge of it is like being stabbed with an icy-cold dagger followed by a numbness that makes the rest of the world seem foggy and unclear. Then comes the ripping open of the heart, as the mind finally accepts what has happened - that who or what we loved isn't coming back. Grief can help us heal, unless we are look at life through a straw, focused solely on our loss. Rose is a reminder to love what is left; it can make the pain much more bearable.
