This
particular card often refers to belonging to a group or knowledge
gained from a spiritual path. My first thought when I saw this image
was "many paths, one mountain." I don't think the mountain refers to a
specific religion or deity, rather it implies living in a way that shows
kindness and love to all. The tools I use to get there may look
completely different from what someone else uses. But how do I know I'm
moving in the right direction? In the center of the five mounds is a
set of concentric circles with a flower growing inside. The flower
represents beauty and positive growth. If kindness, love, beauty and
growth are part of my journey, I don't need to worry about how I compare
to another person.

The animal chosen today from the wooden tiles oracle is the "Hawk:"
I
saw two red-tailed hawks the other day in the neighborhood; they always
seem to arrive shortly after the flocks of robins come. These hawks
have incredible vision - they never think an old sock is a rat even at
great distances. The reason is that the red-tail has five times more
visual sensory cells per millimeter of retina than do humans. These
birds teach me to look at the big picture rather than just my personal
perspective. Hawks remind me not to assume anything, but to make sure
what I think I see is true before I take action. There are times when
Hawk's visual acuity is impaired, such as on foggy days when the light
is scattered. He'll wait patiently in a tall tree until things clear up. Likewise,
sometimes postponing my plans or decisions may be called for when my
clarity is diminished by my emotions or other factors.
