Four of Cups
A cup rests near, seemingly untouched while one figure gazes elsewhere, suggesting a momentary pause in heartfelt engagement. This indicates a subtle redirection of attention away from immediate emotional currents.
A question for you
What is drawing your focus away from an available source of comfort right now?
