King of Cups
A bearded Elder in a flowing Earth colored robe stands in thoughtful contemplation before a Celtic stone cross.Next to it, at the edge of the card, almost out of the picture a standing stone is visible, engraved with double spirals.
This old man has seen it all:
The old religion - now slipping out of the picture of the day and the new religion of the cross coming in. He himself holds on to a staff - a kind of trident, on which fresh leaves are still sprouting.Is he the shepherd of his people?
What is he making of the changing times?


Today I wish I had more time to contemplate the changing times and my personal take on it. Looking at this image, I feel reminded of the fact, that my personal comfort and well-being in the future depends on how well I can keep up with the fast pace of the seasons and the changing times without feeling like the worn out wounded, elderly, pained king of times past.
