Ace of Cups ~ Fantastic Menagerie

hopena

This is one of my favourite Ace of Cups cards.

The background is an ocean scene, on a lovely day. At the edge of a cliff, a baby bird has just cracked open its shell, and is looking out over the edge.

I think it shows first the thrill of something new - of discovering something outside of the shell you've been keeping yourself in (something to which I can really relate to), but I'm also a little afraid of that bird and/or that shell, falling right over the edge. It's exciting, but a little scary, too.
