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."

No 'Us and Them'

 From the Spiral Tarot, Judgment; from the Sacred Journey Cards, Perseverance:

          Judgment asks us to wake up, to hear the call to service, benefiting someone other than just ourselves. We are in the middle of a five-alarm fire, asking us to climb out of our cozy cocoons and see that the world isn't equal or just for everyone. Kindness or hatred has been doled out according to what tribe you represent. But we have an opportunity now to recognize that we're all on this little blue marble together, dependent and interconnected. There is no 'us and them,' only 'us.' It's time to act like it. Perseverance is a reminder that a commitment requires a worthy cause, not an egoic one. If we are fighting only for the good of ourselves, that battle will be brief. But when we include the well-being of all others, we have a source of fuel and support that will keep us going.

    We are all walking our paths. To follow our paths is the only option and say a prayer for the others who are confused and lost.

      As a teacher once said, we are all just walking each other home.
