From the Prisma Visons Tarot, the Knight of Pentacles; from the Secret Language of Color Cards, Pink:
Love can flourish only as long as it is free and spontaneous; it tends to be killed by the thought of duty.
― Bertrand Russell
The Knight of Pentacles understands that all living things require sustenance, and he is a work horse when it comes to providing what they all need. Yet he can be so focused on cultivating and obtaining, he forgets to appreciate the beauty and magic all around him. As he trudges though life, he's begun to value things and people according to their usefulness. Einstein suggested that love was a better teacher and master than duty - it gladdens and lightens the heart as we do our work, keeping us from seeing it simply as an obligation. Pink's message follows this line of thought, encouraging us to "let love in."
