From the Norse Tarot, the Two of Cups; from the Viking Lenormand, the Ring:
In good times and bad, it’s wisdom to know that neither lasts forever.
― Vincent H. O'Neil
The commitment symbolized by the Ring is balanced by the affection and tenderness of the Two of Cups. Who would want to stay in a partnership with someone who is unkind and self-centered? My husband and I had 'a day' yesterday, from sucking up the vacuum cleaner cord (and ripping it down to the wires) to chaos at the bank and then the pharmacy. It's not that we don't grumble and get frustrated or that we don't lose our patience and get testy. But we don't yell at each other and we try not to lose our sense of humor in the insanity of it all. Deeply caring for each other helps make our commitment a gift rather than a grind.
