From the Tarot of the Absurd, the Eight of Cups; from Post-psychedelic Cyberpunk Oracle, Nexus:
Life is what I am making it, and I am what life is making me.
—Paula Arai
Judging this relationship by the sleeping bear, it appears to be in full hibernation. Trying to wake it at this point will only make it grumpy and hostile. The mature response would be to walk away before things devolve further, before there is harm done that can't be undone. In time, our distress will likely turn to relief. Nexus comes from Latin roots meaning ‘a binding together;’ it is a connection point where many elements meet. Buddhism teaches that causes bring about the production or arising of something while conditions help shape the identity of what is produced or arises. These form who each of us are, including our inclination to behave in certain ways. Some people will work to change these patterns, but others will think they are perfectly fine the way they are. Yet once we recognize them, we can choose not to pair ourselves with those who have such propensities.
