The card
He lies on a cloud with one arm extended and his palm flat open, a clear crystal resting balanced on it. White light comes down from somewhere outside the frame, enters the crystal, and leaves as a wide fan of spectrum spreading across everything around him. He is not gripping it and not looking at it. This card says that what passes through you does so because nothing in you is closed against it, and it refuses to call that an accomplishment.
To sit with
Where have you closed around something you meant to let pass through?
What might move through you if nothing in you were closed against it?
