A
group of men, holding their weapons high, give chase to a fox who has
been helping herself to their hens and eggs. The fox pauses beside a
single blue flower as the men continue down the hill on the other side.
Blue flowers symbolize faithfulness and loyalty (which is why brides in
the West carry "something blue" down the wedding aisle). Generally
this card implies something underhanded going on, which makes sense with
the fox, but why put a blue flower next to this animal? But what if
she is a mom with kits, and has been stealing food in order to provide
for her family? She is then being loyal to them. I would judge this
situation differently depending on whose shoes (or paws) I'm in at the
time. Today I will look carefully at my motivations, and endeavor not
to violate others' rights with my self-will and wants.

The draw from the Philosopher's Stone deck today is "Composure:"
Talk
about being "in your face!" This group of rocks are so close to the
stone man, his face is in their shadow. I think some folks cross those
personal space boundaries just to intimidate. Will the stone man lose
his cool, or choose the emotionally mature option of just walking away
from the situation? For me, there is an instinctive reaction to push
back, to step on the liberties of others who have crossed a line with
me. But does that actually help, or does it just make me a carbon copy
of them?
