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.
