Synthesizing Actions

From the Tarot of the Sidhe, the World; from the Green Man Tree Oracle, Holly:

 I am the ceaseless renewing spiral of existence

and the void from which it is born.

~Emily Carding

          One of the keyword's Carding gives for her card is 'synthesis.' Instead of separating and dividing the world into labels of our choosing, we see and understand the full picture. Seeing with that kind of clarity means the ego's prejudices and preferences are taken off the table. As Alice Broadway put it, "Life is about trying to learn the balance, plot our place on the continuum... We're not just made up of good and bad: we're everything else too."

          Holly's wood burns fast and hot; for this reason its message is that we need to temper our passions and channel them into useful actions. Instead of debating whether Democrats or Republicans are better, perhaps we could simply concern ourselves with social justice, peace, and saving the planet. Actions can make more of a difference (even on an individual level) than arguments about who's right and who's wrong.
