The Page/Princess of Cups

I pulled the Princess of Cups as my Card of the day from the Tarot of Dreams.
This archetypal energy represents vulnerability and receptivity. It's a representation of the emotional lessons life brings us in both new and old spaces. The space often opens up when old patterns are brought to light through new relationships. Layers of defenses are peeled away when we engage with someone new who is blissfully aware of the little games we play to hide our hurts, fears and scars. We are left naked and vulnerable... exposed... we are forced to see ourselves... to feel those emotions we thought we had tucked away permanently.
The space also opens up when a relationship comes to end... when we have to ask ourselves 'What went wrong?'.
Naturally, this card also brings new joyful expressions of emotion, but that's not the growing space... in my experience the growing space is always painful.
I pulled this card today because I have many uncried tears... the pain this year has been unbearable and so I have resisted the expression until I've not been able to resist any more... saving it up...
So I do what I need to do. I sit with it and wait for release... I'm afraid... Will I survive the release this time? What will remain on the other side? I'm afraid to breathe deeply because the tears have lodged themselves between my ribs...

Dear Precious Lisa,
Yes sometimes the pain becomes unbearable and like you said it the end it needs release and expression. You are heard Lisa, in sharing this most vulnerable and painful part of you.
My heart is with you, and this are not mere words, but come from having come face to face with my own utmost pain and fears.
Sometimes when we stand utterly naked, release seems like we'll dissappear and part of us will, but what remains is always You, another part of You perhaps, but always You. And that part will survive, it is eternal.
I understand your fear, eventhough it's scary just breath with it and look. Extend your love to it.
Sometimes we just have to let go and trust on blind faith.
Dear Lisa, eventhough you must do this alone, know that you are not alone, behind the fear is the Love in which we are All One.
I also know the deeper we can feel our pain, the deeper we can embrace our love.
My prayers are with you.
Love,
Alluvja
