Le Cercueil
The Coffin
The Necessary Ending
The Quatrain
Vois-tu ce cercueil ? Maladie et deuil, Découragement, Et perte d'argent.
The coffin marks an ending colored by grief, depletion, and discouragement. Something must be laid down.
The Archetype
Illness, mourning, discouragement — something here genuinely needs to be laid down, not managed around. Jung treated psychological death as real, not metaphorical: some configurations of a life have to actually end before what's next can begin.
A Practice For Today
Let one thing you've been carrying past its useful life actually end today.
