Removed from the Flow

From the Spacious Tarot, the Four of Cups; from the Phenomena Oracle, Storm:

Four cups sit high atop a boulder, disengaged from the rushing stream that flows around them. Whether we have been dealing with excitement or difficult challenges, sometimes we need to remove ourselves from the frenzy and find a place of calm to restore ourselves. Yet we may have other motives for our self-isolation - we may be sulking about not getting what we think we need from others. But that idea is inside-out; we actually punish our own self far more than any other person. The lightning from the Storm card suggests waking up from the illusion we've created. That brief bright light can help us see if our thoughts have any evidence to back them up or are just a way to soothe our hurt feelings.

No one can live without relationship.
