The Craziness of Chaos

  From the Daughters of the Moon Tarot, the Five of Cups:

Gale force winds blow, lightning streaks across the night sky, and waves crash along the shore.  Four chalices are tossed about by the waves, but one sits firmly on a rock.  The Five of Cups deals with emotional challenges, particularly in relationships, and this image is a representation of drama and chaos at its height.  But the sole cup standing implies that one person can detach from the craziness and see it for what it is - pure insanity.  When I recognize that I'm getting drawn into such a skirmish, the healthiest thing I can do is remove myself from it.  I've got better things to do with my time and energy...

     From the Raven Cards:

 

There are some people who think they have to do something about everything.  They're generally the ones you see bouncing around in the ocean waves as in the card above.  It is their duty to right every wrong opinion, fix every problem, and save everyone's soul.  It doesn't matter whether other people agree or not (boundaries are completely irrelevant), they are sure this is their purpose in life.  But such an objective only succeeds in causing further complications and divisions between people.  Its time to lay down Excalibur and take a permanent break - that could help heal more than most any action taken.
