Up Against a Brick Wall

From the Tarot of the Crone, Death; from the Transforming Dragons deck, Fliquito:

This is the End

There is nowhere else to go

Something has to change

And that something is you.

~ Ellen Lorenzi-Prince 

          The bare-bones truth is that people and things will never change to suit our circumstances. If we want things to be different, we have to change. Sometimes we put off that change until it literally almost puts us in the grave. Humans are a stubborn lot. Yet the red groin in this Death card signifies an opportunity for rebirthing ourselves if we'll take it. Do we realize how quickly time is slipping away? Fliquito is associated with dishonesty which comes in many forms. Deception may come in the form of denial, omission or using a partial truth to cover up a larger deceit. We hide the truth from ourselves as much as from others. Change only begins with awareness and acceptance - an honest appraisal of ourselves and our situation.

Growth and comfort do not coexist.

~Ginni Rometty
