From the Waking the Wild Spirit Tarot, Dream/Two of Water (Cups); from the Saltwater Reading Cards, Tides:
The Two of Cups can suggest reconciliation and healing between people. To subtitle this card 'Dream' is a reminder that if we can't envision something, it likely won't ever get off the ground. We won't make the effort because we can't imagine anything changing, especially when it comes to relationships that have been damaged or neglected. The Tides card includes the phases of the moon; both are subject to changes and cycles. It can feel as if everything stays the same, but nothing does. Our relationships are either growing and developing in new ways or stagnating and disintegrating. But what if we were to extend a hand in peace and friendship without dragging the past with us? There's no guarantees our gesture will be reciprocated, but on the other hand, it might be just the balm needed for healing.
Moments of kindness and reconciliation are worth having, even if the parting has to come sooner or later. ― Alice Munro
Easier said than done. We carry the baggage with us. Extend a hand, hard to do when we might get hurt again.
ReplyDeleteI don't know that reconciliation is necessary when there is a real threat of harm possible. Forgiveness maybe, so we can move on with our lives.
