Six of Cups

Bāla Bhāva (बाल भाव)

Child-like State

Six of Cups. Return to innocence, but consciously. The child offers flowers—but which innocence do you seek? Not unconscious innocence before the world wounded you, but earned innocence after integrating the wounds. Recover what was real in you before conditioning, while keeping the consciousness you've gained. This is second innocence: having met the shadow and chosen light anyway.
