The name of this painting is Solitude, watching the horizon at sunset in hope of seeing a vessel.
This card reminds me of the long walks I take in the early morning,
away from the distraction of phones, internet, TV and people. It gives
me a chance to touch base with my inner self, a spiritual check-up if
you will. It allows me to peel back the layers and see what is behind
any obsessive thoughts, emotional turmoil, or any sense of apathy. It
also allows me to acknowledge and appreciate all the things for which I
can be grateful. But most importantly, I can form a plan of action for
getting myself back on track when I've wandered off. I love time-outs
for adults.
From the Tao Oracle comes "Deliverance:"
From the Tao Oracle comes "Deliverance:"
We've
been under drought conditions for some time now, and in this area where
so many farmers depend on rain for their crops it has become quite
serious. But last night we had a band of thunderstorms come through,
bringing life-giving rain. Unfortunately, the front triggered a
migraine in me, and I spent most of the night wondering if I should try
driving myself to the emergency room. But at dawn when I awoke for my
walk, most of the pain had gone; everywhere I looked what had once been
brown now glowed with green. It was a feeling of deliverance, and my heart is full this morning with thankfulness.
