I remember times as a kid—I was maybe 5 or 6?—riding home in the car at night. My folks would be discussing some “adult matter” or another in the front seat.
I’d listen for a minute or two before allowing their voices to drift away, further and further until I didn’t hear the talking anymore.
“I’m glad I don’t have to worry about all that grownup stuff…”
I was glad, extremely grateful. If there was something to be figured out, my parents would! The very fact they were discussing something meant it was as good as handled in my book.
So instead of fretting, I’d stretch out in the back seat, tuning in to the hum of the tires on blacktop and gazing up through the rear window, watching the stars go by. As I watched, I’d imagine myself up among those stars, flying high through the sky and clouds, watching over the car as it took us home. It never took long to feel myself floating upward into the sky to do just that, completely content and at peace.
I loved those nights.
The young lady pictured on this Six of Cups has no worries about running out of pink lemonade. She has all she needs to quench her thirst for as long as she can imagine being thirsty! Her needs are simple and amply met, making her experience sweet and refreshing.
Gratitude, contentment and faith are not ideas I typically associate with the Six of Cups but I realize, you can find them here. Recall feelings of childhood, where gifts are given freely and accepted happily. The complications stemming from worry or demanding to know “what comes next” are notably absent. Purity and innocence allows utter trust.
There is profound freedom and grace in living fully in the current moment, grateful for it and anticipating more of the same good stuff. I find that a worthwhile approach and will be pursuing it today.
When’s the last time you felt this kind of freedom?
