This week I’ll be using the Norse Tarot book and deck, created by Clive Barrett and published by Aquarian. The other deck I’ll be drawing from is the Wolf Pack, created by Robert Petro and published by Windspirit Productions. Today’s cards are the Three of Cups and Fulfillment:
Not passion but compassion.
Com—means "with."
What kind of with-ness would that be?
― Anne Carson
My husband once hit a hole-in-one while playing a solitary round of golf. He was at first thrilled, but that feeling evaporated when he realized there was no one to witness and celebrate his feat with him. Humans like to celebrate milestones and accomplishments with others; we even gather to honor and commemorate lives lost and other endings. No matter how different we might otherwise be, we can still recognize and identify with the joys and sorrows of others. Fulfillment suggests that when our life is shared, contentment and meaning are easier to find. Experiences that others can relate to can give us a sense of companionship and interconnection.
We have a chance to remember what matters in this fleeting, fragile life – our connections, our loves, our families, friends, communities and our host, this endlessly beautiful and constantly changing Earth.
—Elizabeth Monson
We are a tribe, interconnected and belong together. To sad that there is so much division in the World.
ReplyDeleteMy focus will be on how I can connect with others, as that is really all I can influence.
Deleteshared lives. I'm working on it!
ReplyDeleteI'm learning that a couple of close connections are much better than a bunch of acquaintances!
