Description
She looks out at the camel below. It's saving its water, and she smiles, for she understands this beautiful beast and its desire to conserve for the future. Safety. Backup. The secret stash of "I'm okay." A petal falls off her rosebud purse that she has carefully been holding close, and the realization that money comes and goes sets in, and she panics . . . momentarily. "But I have saved more than I spend," she reminds herself. "I am safe." And the Muse of the 4 of Materials sends her a small pulse of comfort from the heavens: You have the whole Universe inside of you, and you can build and make more at any time. It's never too late. The Muse reminds you that you, too, are always safe, and that while material extras are always nice to have, build, and watch, they're not at all necessary for your joy.
Poem
The coveting. The scarcity. Hoarding safety in a box. But really freedom comes When generosity unlocks.

At the bottom a label reads '4 of MATERIALS' in capital letters.
