Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse.
The Lovers represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made.
Originally, this card was called just LOVE. And that's actually more apt than "Lovers." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that the you have or will come across a person, career, challenge or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.

Wow! What a total visual acid trip! I loved it, thanks for sharing!!!
As for the graphic of my flower. I created that in corel photopaint. I started with a black background, then I just created a circle with a fill that has various colors with a texture I liked. I then took the circle and used the mesh warp feature and made it into a shape that reminded me of a petal. I used another texture called "plastic" to give it more depth. I started to make copies of the "petal" and made a circle out of them. After looking at it more, I made anoter petal, shrunk it down a bit, flip the direction and created more of those to make the next inner row of petals. I continued this until I felt I went small enough, then I used another feature to make a star in the center. I then took the same texture I used in the petals and made that into the background. Tada! The trick was placing each petal precisely till it lined up right. Otherwise, a pretty easy project. Most things I do are not technically difficult, it's the idea that comes to mind that is important. Using computer graphics, I have more control and can get that idea in my head out faster than if I were to draw or paint it by hand (which the hands are toast now that I have had tremors in them since age 15.) I love letting my mind escape when I open my little crayon box on my computer and I don't have to follow any rules. It's rather empowering. Hope that answered your question. :)
Wow -- ty so much for your explanation of how to do that beautiful flower, Malicious -- ALL who can read this should head over and see her GORGEOUS artwork!!! I am not sure I would have the patience or coordination to try it but I sure would like to-- It sure turned out NEAT!!!
Also -- I am so glad you liked that acid trip video of a combination of 2 of my fave Beatles songs (one by John and one by George). I wish I were talented like some people online to make videos myself but this one is from the Las Vegas Cirque de Solei (spelling) Beatles "Love" show. (or the CD promoting it) I sure want to see that show. I love those two songs and the way they put that video together.
