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."

Chaos to Order

From the Morgan Greer Tarot, the Four of Swords; from the Goddesses and Sirens, Maat:


          The mind likes me to believe that it can do something about everything; that it can find a way to fix what is broken. But the truth is, that isn't always so - not even close. Sometimes I have to rest the mind and follow my heart. It chooses to look at what I'm responsible for and how to clean up any messes I've made rather than telling people how they should live their lives. I want this nation to change and the world to change, but my personal power lies in acting with compassion, having an open heart and a discerning mind. Maat, the Egyptian goddess that brings law to chaos, warns that natural order will be restored. May it be so.

"Respect" is a good word worth handing down to our children.
― Laurence Overmire

    We all need the times of quiet. The issue is turning off our own mind and relax. That silence can be disquieting and makes us restless.

      Restlessness is something I often deal with. I have to remind myself it's just the mind stirring the pot. :)

      Nope, she looks ready to cut a wide swath without being influenced. :D
