Unfolding Moments

From the Tarot of the Hidden Realm, the Seven of Pentacles; from the Heart of Faerie Oracle, the Hidden One:

          Before there were sonograms and amniocentesis tests, the only real way to assess a pregnancy was by the health of the mom, an expanding belly and baby kicks or movement. Like so many projects or endeavors, often the final assessment can only be determined by the fruit born. Yet when patience is required, it's easy to become obsessed about things that we can't control. The Hidden One pops up (making us trip on the tree root or stump our toe) to remind us to get out of our head and pay attention to the rest of the world. The present moment is the only one in which we have a genuine choice.

Patience is a form of wisdom. It demonstrates that we understand and

accept the fact that sometimes things must unfold in their own time.
