"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:"
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...
