It is good to love: because love is difficult. For one human being to love another human being: that is perhaps the most difficult task that has been entrusted to us, the ultimate task, the final test and proof, the work for which all other work is merely preparation. That is why very young people, who are beginning in everything. Are not yet capable of love; it is something they must learn. With their whole being, with all their forces gathered around their solitary, anxious, up-ward beating heart, they must learn to love. But learning time is always a long, secluded time, and therefore, loving, for a long time ahead, and far into life, is -: solitude, a heightened and deepened sense of aloneness for the person who loves. Loving does not at first mean merging, surrendering and uniting with another person (for what would a union be of two people who are unclarified, unfinished, and still incoherent - ?), it is a high inducement for the individual to ripen, to become something in himself, to become world, to become world in himself for the sake of another person; it is a great, demanding claim on him, something that chooses him and calls him to vast distances. From: Rainer Maria Rilke Letters to a young poet

Logical choice JMD but no :).

This is a toughie, High Priestess?

Moongold	26 Oct 2003
No Gloria but it is early days........

Diana	26 Oct 2003
Bateleur. And I really mean le Bateleur, and not the Magician.....

gloria	26 Oct 2003
9/Discs?

Ross G Caldwell	26 Oct 2003
Hanged Man?

gloria	26 Oct 2003
I think you have it there Ross!

Moongold	26 Oct 2003
No but making progress. Can't be too far away now. To me the answer just shines out and to give a clue may give the the whole thing away completely. Diana I don't know enough about the difference between le Bateleur and the Magician to understand what you mean but I will one day soon.

3 of cups

Moongold	26 Oct 2003
No, Skytwig :)

gloria	26 Oct 2003
The Sun?

Ross G Caldwell	26 Oct 2003
The World? (text mentions "final task", "everything else is preparation", and "become world.") Ross

Diana	26 Oct 2003
Could it be a Valet/Page? A Page of Cups?

Moongold	26 Oct 2003
Gloria has it :laugh: The Sun ccomes below the Hierophant and the Hanged Man Hierophant is about external values Hanged Man finds a personal connection Sun is about realizing values, ethics - individuation - becoming the whole person and being happy with that - becoming loveable and able to love deeply, truly.....mmmm Congratulations Gloria! Wan't so hard, eh? The clue gave it away really :laugh:

gloria	27 Oct 2003
Thanks Moongold :) I was going to go for The World, but Ross beat me to it. I'd appreciate it if somebody else could take my turn, how about you Diana? :) Gloria.
