Lightness of Heart

From the Brady Tarot, the Daughter (Page) of Cups; from the Wisdom of the Forest, Joy:

There are some children who are inherently concerned about how others feel, whether they are okay. Like this pronghorn who dips some water to share with a bird, they are tuned into aiding those who might be suffering. But if they don't learn to do the same for themselves, they burn out quickly as adults. It helps if our actions follow wu-wei - a natural, effortless movement that isn't forced. As Indigo Ocean writes: "We do not stop caring. We do not stop helping.We simply do it with a natural equilibrium, like water flowing from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure. No one needs to tell water where it ought to go; its nature is to simply flow." Yet Joy implies this isn't enough; we must also cultivate a lightness of heart, moments when wonder, beauty and the warmth of others lift us up. This is what will refill our cup over and over again.
