Step Through the Portal

From the Rosetta Tarot, the Fool; from the Ascension to Paradise deck, the "Tern:"

For the past several days I've woken up and groaned, "Oh god, it's morning." Polly Positive I was not. Yet today I've drawn the Fool, and I see him stepping through that portal from the known to the unknown without preconceptions, assumptions or expectations. He's not freaked out that there is a tiger behind him and a gator in front of him. He's completely open to the gifts of the moment instead. His swirls of fire and water remind me of Temperance, suggesting harmony with what is instead of worrying about what was or what might be. As the sun begins to come up here in my part of the world, I realize I can choose to walk through the Fool's portal too.
The tern is a part of the gull family but smaller and more graceful. They're built to fly long distances when they migrate during winter and summer. According to the authors, it represents finding and making a smooth passage towards a destination. Yet it may not be a physical trek; it can be an inner journey toward a desired state of mind. An attitude adjustment is what I need. So today I will attempt to attend to each moment and be grateful for the good around me.
