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."

Change of a Different Sort

From the Victorian Romantic Tarot, the Six of Pentacles; from the Dreaming in Color Deck, Messages:


          I'm sure those flowers the little girl is selling will wilt within an hour or two, but she's trying to make some money for bare necessities. The woman she's stopped probably doesn't even know what it means to be hungry or without a safe home. She's liable to give the girl some money to make her go away as quickly as possible. But is this generosity? Generosity is an expression of caring and connection - knowing that we could easily be in another's shoes given the right circumstances. The Messages card is a reminder to reflect on what shows up on our doorstep (especially what is unwanted). The messenger isn't meant just to make us uncomfortable but to inspire us to change.

    If only we would think about a day in a life of another, walk a mile in their shoes or bare feet in a lot of cases.

      A day in someone's bare feet would definitely be a perspective changer.
