The Pleasure of Your Company

From the Granny Jones Australian Tarot, the Three of Cups; from the Button Oracle, Bridge:

This card made me think of the wording on many wedding invitations: "request the pleasure of your company." There are some folks who are indeed a pleasure to be with, whether the occasion is a celebration or a chin-wag. Such a relationship is simply founded on the concern for the well-being of each other. The Bridge button's quote comes from Angela Merkel: "A good compromise is one where everybody makes a contribution." In suspension bridges, the cables must be anchored at each end of the bridge, since any load applied to the bridge is transformed into tension in these main cables. Likewise, healthy relationships share the load - one person is not responsible for being the ear that listens, the shoulder cried upon, or the giver of encouragement.
