kingtycoon | The 2 of Cups! Let's go out

Hey! Yes! Back and still at it, I can do everything and all at once. Promise!

So here's the 2 of cups. Cups are feelings and compassion, passion, relationships. We started out with the one cup - which is the fountain of feelings. On to two cups. Personally, I have a cup of coffee and a cup of water sitting next to me most of the time. I am hydrated furiously. But the two people with cups - it's a date right? They are on a date.

Connections - the first time meeting, the last time talking. This is the date - maybe you go out and there's a person, a new person, there's a connection or there isn't. Drinks, conversation, the world moves or you just keep going. Or it's the latest date- the rest of the night is a forgone conclusion, relationships, togetherness, bonding, ritual. Or it's a last time, it's been ongoing, it's getting tired, it's getting old, you're running out of things to say and so you drink. Later a movie- so that you won't have to talk and maybe you'll have something to talk about afterward. Or it's the last date. The final moment, the brush off, the mournful goodbye. There's two people and feelings.

Now you ask me - do I think a boy and a girl together is the whole thing of it? That that's the two that is? I say this - you know what. No. But you put the two kinds of people in there. I say the two kinds of people because the kinds of people that are involved in making additional people are the kinds of people that I count as archetypal. Have whatever complex opinion you want about it - I'm just saying - there's lots of kinds of sex and togetherness and it's weird that sex and togetherness are equated. Sex is something trees and fish do. Sex is - really, in a technical way - the way that babies are made. So it's strange that Sex is this thing that involves all kinds of acts that are not procreative. It's weird!

I don't know why I went this way. Dating - you get to this point and think about it. Pollen, pistils and stamens- that's what sex is. Dating is togetherness, the whole courtship and togetherness. Here's the picture. The two of cups. Sharing a drink, a conversation, some looks and then you hold hands. Maybe you go into the bathroom together to paw each other like beasts, maybe you can't make it home or to the car, maybe you're groping the alley. I won't pretend that I haven't been that way. Maybe this is the card that foretells the alleyway grope, the furious new kiss. Or maybe it tells about the real true feeling, the now and the best the realest.

Two cups, drink up.

Like this part- Coming Apart- the 23rd Hexagram - and Aim a spirit who teaches all kinds of witty talk. Dating. It's the whole story.

I don't know if I'll keep this going - I mean, cards - right? Cards. Maybe I aughta, and maybe I aughtn't. Trying.

It's a manic kind of day. Don't judge me too much about my gender-specific sentiments or my ability to paint pictures okay?
