Camp for Wayward Women
From the Neuzeit Tarot, the Empress; from Rory's Story Cubes, "Treasure chest/Monkey:"
The Empress has an ouroboros draped around her shoulders like a shawl, emphasizing her unending creative role (easily seen as the personification of Mother Nature). Things may change - baby birds grow up to be adult eagles - but she moves with the seasons. Being at my mother's house for the past few days fits perfectly with this card. For several years now, my cousins and I have come from different cities to stay with my mom, leaving behind husbands, children and pets. Which brings me to the cubes chosen for today - the treasure of free time to "monkey around" and have fun. We take long walks, play hours of cards and games, eat when we want, and visit with each other. It's my idea of a near-perfect vacation, all thanks to ma mère.

"Monkey around'" That sound like so much fun. You are a lucky woman to have such warm and close family ties and to find a safe haven at your mothers place. Your card and cubes fit well together today. I Wish you lots of enjoyment at you mom's and maybe you'll find some unexpected treasure's while being there
ReplyDeleteThank you Ellen! I have laughed more in one day here than I have in a year. :)
DeleteIt is nice to have somewhere to go and relax with nothing but fun on the agenda. Family is so important to my mom, and since there are fewer of us as each year passes, we try to get together when we can.
I'll bet your mum looks forward to it as much as you do.
ReplyDeleteMy cousin Margie has hosted a female cousins weekend for the last 4 years. I have yet to make it, but it's on my bucket list.
I hope when your mom gets settled in her new digs (Sept.?), that you'll put this near the top of your list. You could use a vacation!
