The card
He sits upright on a wide plain of cloud with clear crystals scattered around him in every direction, more still drifting down and settling silently. Nothing is gathered, sorted, piled, or contained. His hands rest open in his lap holding none of it, and he is not counting. This card asks what it would mean for everything around you to be yours and none of it to be owned.
To sit with
What do you count so carefully that you can't enjoy it?
What is falling around you right now that you haven't stopped to notice?
