Water · feeling

The heart learning to hold

Cups are the weather of feeling — affection, grief, friendship, the cup you will or will not drink. Fourteen doors, Ace to King.

Stay. Skip. Nothing is scored. The water does not mind if you sit on the bank a while.

The story: a gift of feeling, a loss, a leaving, a household of the heart.

Four quiet movements

• The offering

  Ace through Four — feeling arriving

• The weather

  Five through Seven — grief, memory, fog

• The crossing

  Eight through Ten — leaving, enough, home

• The household

  The four courts — how feeling lives in a person
