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."

Let's Rock the Boat

From the Songs for the Journey Home, Nine of Wave Songs; from the Raven Cards, "Dance:"
So bring your good times, and your laughter too
We gonna celebrate your party with you
          With this party in full swing, I can almost hear Kool & The Gang singing. The SJH companion book speaks of a cathartic release, and I can't think of anything more wild and wonderful. It's been a trying week for a lot of people I love, but progress was made and all things are well. The sense of relief and liberation from tension does make me want to make merry. I'm not naive enough to believe it will last forever, but I'm going to dance while the music still plays. Raven wisdom reminds me that I can "dance with the stones and laugh with the wind" any time. In fact, it can be a pressure valve to help keep me from cracking, and it can connect me to all that I'm grateful for in my life. So come on, let's dance!

    I have experienced too that in time of great stress, laughter and merrymaking can be such a relieve for all parties involved
    So dance my friend and be happy!
    Hugs

      If I ever lose my ability to laugh, I'm in big trouble! It is such a great stress reducer.

      It is good to have a physical stress reliever, whether it's dance, walking, yoga, etc. Thanks for stopping by Catherine!

    Glad things have eased off, even just for a little while. Your post reminds me how long it is since I've sung simply for the joy of it. Perhaps I can remedy that today...

      I have a special song mix on CD for the car. Whenever I'm driving by myself, I belt out the songs. :D It's amazing what an attitude adjuster it can be!
