Making Time

From the Norse Tarot, the Eight of Wands; from the Wolf Pack, 'Guidance:'

                One can almost hear the rhythmic call of "Pull! Pull!" as the oarsmen glide across the water. The Eight of Wands symbolizes speed and movement, and this boat represents both. Yet when things are in motion, it might be tempting to sit back and watch. However, if all the rowers decided to do that, the speed and direction would be lost. Guidance suggests asking or heeding the wisdom of someone who has more knowledge and experience than we do. There was a woman who was pulled over by a policeman because she was speeding. When asked where she was going in such a hurry, she replied, "I don't know, but I'm making damn good time!" Movement is good, but only if we're progressing in the right direction. Asking for help is better than doing something without a clue about what we're doing or where we're going.
