From the Tyldwick Tarot, the Two of Cups; from the Antiquarian Lenormand, the Bear:
Our shared values define us more than our differences.
―John McCain
In a formal English garden, two huge flower containers sit on pedestals while separated by a triangular obelisk. Like the two planters, humans who would normally consider themselves friends or partners can elevate their opinions to the point where they divide themselves from each other. Yet the flowers are very similar, suggesting a commonality. Relationships between people usually occur because they share values, interests, or goals, but these seem to be forgotten. The Lenormand Bear implies strength, power and protection. It asks us if differing opinions are more important than protecting our relationship. Perhaps it is time to take Malcolm Forbes words to heart: "Diversity: the art of thinking independently together."
