I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

Sharing Secrets

From the Tarot de St. Croix, the Empress, and from the Archetype Cards, the Fool:
 Since I'll be on the road for a few days, I'll be doing a shortened version of my usual blog for a while. The Empress creates in order to nurture, and her nurturing is fueled by emotion rather than logic. I leave for my mom's today, then we'll travel north together for the 90th birthday of her cousin. I am honored that she wants me as her companion - this woman has traveled to over 52 countries, so traveling in the States is a piece of cake for her. Our journey will give us a chance for us to catch up on each other's lives, to laugh and reconnect. The Fool card may suggest that this will be a time to reveal more of ourselves to each other, rather than hiding behind emotional masks. Everyone has their secrets, sometimes even more so with a parent.

    I hope this trip will be an opportunity for you and you mom to talk free and openhearted.

      No deep secrets, but it did give us time to talk freely and reconnect for sure.

    Thinking of you on this road trip, and hoping you have a wonderful time. Yes, I think there are always secrets with our parents, but perhaps you can enjoy one another's company, adult-to-adult...

      That's the nice thing about having a parent whose company you enjoy - it is like being with a great friend. :)
