Charges Developing

From the Prairie Tarot, the Ace of Swords:

Initially, the air acts as an insulator between the positive and negative charges in the cloud and the ground.  But eventually the differences in charges become too great, and there is a rapid discharge of electricity known as lightning.  It is an awesome power that may leave an impact on the earth it touches, much like the power of innovative ideas.  Similar to the quick flash in the sky, an idea may be lost if I don't actively pursue it with something discernible.  Other priorities and desires will soon push it to a dark, dusty corner like a book that is never read.

From the Medicine Cards comes "Ant:"

Since the temperatures have begun cooling off, we've had fire ant beds popping up all over.  They seem to be able to make anywhere home, whether it is a yard or a crack in the asphalt.  The one characteristic I notice about them (besides their fiery bite) is the way they work together.  Each has a job assigned, and like the gears in a clock, they move as a team to accomplish each task.  I realize that I have assets as well as deficits, and there are some projects that will require the help of others if they are ever going to get off the ground.
