One must love with a flat hand.
Two
lovers hold each other in the middle of a field of flowers. A pair of
snow geese fly overhead. What does it mean to love with a "flat hand?"
An open palm allows me to give and receive. It does not force anything
on anyone, neither does it grasp with a desire to control. The
migrating snow geese fly in formation, yet they do not fly directly
behind another. Each must have a full view. Likewise, love supports
me, but allows me to make my own quest without demanding I change my
beliefs. Love gives me the courage to make this journey...

The card chosen today from the Celtic Shaman's Pack is the "Crane:"
I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. ~ Lao Tzu
The
crane never wastes its energy; every move of this wading bird is done
with focus and purpose. Watching its ability to patiently stand still
for long periods of time, with its laser-like attention, encourages me
to develop a serene acceptance. Rushing, pushing, or forcing will catch
nothing in my net except frustration.
