Search with the Flow

From the Morgan-Greer Tarot, the Eight of Cups; from the Gods and Titans/Goddesses and Sirens Oracles, Poseidon:

          I normally see the Eight of Cups as leaving behind an unfulfilling situation or relationship, but today it felt different. I had the distinct feeling the cloaked figure was instead going in search of what would complete the stack of cups; he wasn't abandoning anything, just looking for what would make it whole. Poseidon shows up to give me a heads-up on my search. This Greek god was known for being difficult and moody (he was, after all, responsible for earthquakes). Yet his keyword 'flow' is a hint not to get caught up by any emotional high and low tides, but to ride them out (they won't last forever). It reminded me of something I read by Kathy Kruger: "Fighting for something is very different from railing against the flow. I’ve learned (the hard way) that while it may be worth fighting for something we want rather than giving up, it’s always futile to fight against the way things are and play the battle out in our heads." My search needs to have the Taoist quality of wu-wei - effortless action that moves with the natural ebb and flow cycles.
