Brave Your Emotions
Emotions can be uncomfortable and hard to lean into.
One morning, I woke up angry next to my then partner. It wasn’t even from a recent fight so much as an accumulation of frustrations.
I wanted to gather my things and leave and let myself be angry at him without discussion.
But, then it happened . . . the cat laid on me.
Obviously I now had no choice but to stay there and feel my anger.
Drink from the Cup
The Cups Suit is about water. This element relates directly to the heart as a center of emotions and spirituality.
Water flows with gravity and finds it’s way to the ground. It’s incredibly powerful in this insistent path and cuts through rock to create canyons over time.
Our own hearts are the same element. Big feelings can be contained temporarily, but they will carve through to freedom, often becoming a churning eddy that bursts forth when time and circumstance set them loose.
In my experience, this ends up happening at inopportune times. I am so grateful for the stranger on the bus who held my hand while I openly wept. And all the others who were in the right place at the right time to nurture my tears unexpectedly.
Celebrating the Heart’s Absurdity
According to this belief system, if nothing really matters, why not relish what you relish without a care for how others judge you. Absurdity celebrates each of us living for what we personally adore, however outlandish, and without regard for how we are looked upon by others.
