lark
Sorry if this post seems off the wall...
Whenever I look at this card I have the intense desire to fold the 4 batons on each side upward.
Then fold the leaves over them as a design and extra stablizing force. (I imagine them made of metal.)
And the 2 batons on top and bottom are folded together to touch each other on the top and form a handle.
And presto! A square woven basket with a strong bottom and vented sides.
Excellent for carrying all those things we need to handle in life.
But NOT for hiding things away in storage.
The vented side suggest the need for air, and peeking in from time to time to see how it is doing as we carry it through a situation.
Like taking the cat to the vet.
So whenever this card comes up for me I am grateul for the help it brings.
The stability and the organization it provides.
It allows me to contain something for a time...
Gives time to reflect, or time to carry it to another destination.
But I know it's not the end of the story.
You have to open the basket and take what's inside out at some point.
So then it's time to pull another card.
