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."

The Three Ps

From the Norse Tarot, the Eight of Wands; from the Wolf Pack, 'Long Journey:'

          The combination of speed with the implication of a long road ahead reminds me of a phrase my father-in-law often used: "Don't rush off in the heat without a blanket." It sounds crazy at first until life's nature to change is remembered. Although things may be moving quickly at the moment, the destination or goal is still quite far away; what seems to be the status quo now might turn inside out tomorrow. The three Ps are called for in this case - preparation, patience, and perseverance.

Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen in a different order than the one you have in your mind. ~David G. Allen
