Tool Shed

From the Wheel of Change Tarot, the Ten of Swords:

This card has to be the best ever Ten of Swords for me (and not just because there is no dead body lying around). The little shed represents my life, and the tools symbolize the human gifts of rational thought and communication. I chuckled when I noticed the cobwebs in some of the corners - yep, that looks like my mind for sure! But look at the view beyond the door with its stars and planets. It is a reminder that my viewpoints and perceptions come from the tiny shed I live in - my personal experiences, the place I live, the books I read and the people I associate with. Though I might like to think I am intellectually well-rounded, there is so much more in the universe than my little brain will ever know.

From the Oracle of the Dreamtime comes the "Sydney Harbor Bridge:"

The painting above comes from a story about a giant kangaroo who tried to move beyond his natural boundaries. His skeleton eventually became a bridge connecting two areas. Lately the idea of bridges has come up a lot in conversation - not the physical kind, but the mental kind. I am invited by this card to make a mental leap across my comfortable belief system into the unknown. I don't necessarily have to sign off on anything I learn there, but I've no doubt I'll get a chance to see from a new perspective.
