New Year, New Intentions

From the Primordial Tarot, the Mother (Empress); from the Wisdom of the Forest, Grow:

The Mother/Empress and Grow cards are an auspicious pair to draw for the first day of 2021. The Mother encourages us to create, nurture and love while Grow suggests that we not become complacent but continue to expand our heart and mind. In the words of Rumi, "Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself."

In this new year,

may my daily intentions be 

the pursuit of wisdom, kindness and compassion.

May I choose to act with tolerance and patience,

realizing all have been shaped by life, sometimes harshly.

May I seek to be of service

rather than spend life chasing one pleasure after another.

May I seek to learn from others

and appreciate all the beautiful diversity in this world.

May I see my part in any harm or heartache;

rather than focusing the blame on others,

may I be willing to ask for forgiveness

making restitution wherever possible.

And above all,

may I never forget to tell those I know or meet,

you are loved,

you are loved,

you are loved.

Happy New Year
