I'll be out of town for the next several days celebrating my mom's 80th birthday and likely won't be able to post anything until I return. Just didn't want anyone to think I disappeared!

Every Lid Has a Pot
From the Tarot of Durer, the Knave (Page) of Swords; from the Philosopher's Stone Deck, 'Complement:'
I know what you're thinking... "Why is this older guy still a Page?" He definitely has the intelligence and skill to move up in the ranks, and nothing gets past his sharp eyes or ears. What he lacks are diplomacy and tact. If there is a pink elephant in the room that everyone else is politely trying to avoid noticing, he points it out with gusto. Whatever passes through his mind comes straight out of his mouth with no filter. The Complement card implies the adage that "every lid has a pot." Though this Page is not everyone's cup of tea, he works well with folks who have a hard time speaking up. He can also be a refreshing change when surrounded by people pleasers who can't utter an honest opinion about anything. He may take some getting used to, but he'll never deliberately lie or sugarcoat a thing.

Thank you. We're currently at Wakulla Springs in Florida. :)
Deletehis age is exactly what I thought. Someone needs to lead the upcoming pages I guess, and he might be the drill sargent.
ReplyDeleteHe'd be a great drill instructor. :)
DeleteSome are perfectly content with who and what they are and have no need to move on or progress.
DeleteYes, ambition doesn't necessarily equal contentment.
