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."

Avoid Shortcuts

From the Spiral Tarot, the Eight of Wands; from the Sacred Journey Cards, Integrity:
          The mighty wind is a blowin' and the staves are rising in the air. They seem to be following the flow of the river. There is a rush to do something that appears to be moving at top speed. However, their course implies going with the current rather than against it could make the ride less bumpy. It can be easy to lose one's inner compass when life gets rushed and things feel chaotic. The SJ card reminds me to hang on to my integrity, to act in a way that is honest and true to my values.
There are no shortcuts to any place worth going. ~ Beverly Sills

      I think so too; but it will require me pausing and being still long enough to do an inner check-up. :)

    The right way is not always the easiest way. Things do have a way of 'circling' back to us.

      As the end result does not necessarily justify the means.
