"This
is the true joy in life - being used for a purpose recognized by
yourself as a mighty one; being thoroughly worn out before you are
thrown on the scrap heap; being a force of nature instead of a feverish
selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the
world will not devote itself to making you happy." ~ George Bernard Shaw
The
symbolism of this card is pretty obvious - this lady has a lot weighing
on her mind. Her outward expression has been my inward attitude of
late, grieving and feeling like my hands are tied in a number of
situations. But the good news about the meaning behind "ten" cards is
that things are about to be resolved, one way or another. My nephew,
who was recently diagnosed with leukemia, is responding well to
treatment. The active addict/alcoholic in my life will probably soon
wind up in jail (which is not a bad thing, considering the other
alternatives). The church is about to start paving the area they
leveled, meaning when they finish, the bit of habitat not destroyed can
recoup. I hate stewing in problems, because I just wind up like the
lady in this image. And while there is not always a solution to
everything, there usually are some small things I can do. I can
send cards and caps to my nephew, I can help care for the small children
of the addict, and I can plant some trees in the habitat still
standing. If I am going to be worn out, I would rather it be for a
purpose than a complaint.

From the Fallen Angel Oracle today comes the card "Avnas:"
Apply calm reflection and insight to the situation.
This
angel's pillar of flame is what can pierce through my understanding of
circumstances, enabling me to see them in a different light. I suppose
it is human nature for our first reaction to the unexpected to be
emotional, rather than logical. But calm rationality is what can lead
me from the chaos...
