I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

Seeds of a Solution

From the Norse Tarot, the Prince (Knight) of Disks; from the Wolf Pack, Obstacle:
          This Prince/Knight has his feet on the ground rather than in stirrups. He likes to pay attention to details, not give things a cursory glance. He takes pride in a job done well, even though it might take him a bit longer than others. But more often than not, his results are impressive. Fortunately, his patience and dependability carry over even when obstacles are encountered. Rather than focus only on the goal and attempt to bulldoze over what stands in the way, he looks closely at the problem itself. What gave rise to this? What might be exacerbating it? Would it be better to start anew or seek a solution? His studious childhood has led to a scientific eye. It might upend the original timetable, but he won't rest until he finds some answers.

Every problem has in it the seeds of its own solution.
~Norman Vincent Peale

  1. It is interesting to watch our state knights (mayors and governors) work out solutions when stymied by federal kings. Maybe in 2024 we'll have some better options for candidates.

    1. Our mayors and council members were really thrown off by our governor's rash decision. And now Trump is suggesting we inject ourselves with disinfectants... good lord.

  2. Seems like a lot of work to tear it all down instead of fixing what needs fixed. Sometimes a clean slate is what is required.
