firemaiden
My translation of Margarete Petersen's German text on this card
Grieving-- Parting. Saying goodbye to an endlessly appearing succession of disappointments. Ceasing to look and feel only in one direction, and accepting the flow of the present. Leave old wounds behind, feel the sadness. When you can cry, all the heart's bitterness flows out. Through tears, the body will be purified, and you will be open for new sources to yourself. Grieving frees you from the grip of negative repressed feelings, releases you from isolation. Like a little drop of water, you will fall into the Ocean and experience the release of your ego's restrictive walls.
