A Party?

From the Everyday Enchantment Tarot, the Four of Wands; from the MentorSpirit Cards, 'Generosity:'

          There's a celebration going on, which reminded me of the tears and cheers that have lined our hospital's corridors as a couple of previously seriously ill patients in ICU went home rather than left in a body bag. We are learning, though that curve has been sharp and perilous for many. And in the middle of all this, parents are discovering how to homeschool, support groups are figuring out how to use video and audio conferencing platforms, and folks are embracing new or long-forgotten hobbies. Generosity helps lubricate this process by giving without expectations. But this compassionate action comes not from a place of lack but of gratitude, realizing we have enough with some to spare for others.

Generosity takes many forms—we may give our time, our energy, our material possessions, our love. All are expressions of caring, of compassion, of connection, and of renunciation—the ability to let go.
