From the Herbcrafter's Tarot, the Eight of Fire (Wands); from the Green Wheel Oracle, Robin:
Be not afraid of growing too slowly. Be afraid only of standing still. ~Benjamin Franklin
Life doesn't stand still, especially in a chef's kitchen. There's lots of chopping, sauteing, simmering, baking, broiling and stirring, but no resting. An eye is kept on everything as each dish goes from start to finish. Spicy ginger adds some heat, yet it also can settle the stomach. It seems to be a reminder that there's no need to let the excitement overwhelm us - it will settle down soon. The robin represents thresholds and new growth. We generally have flocks numbering in the hundreds arrive here in South Georgia in February, right before our Spring. No time of the year seems quite as busy, especially in the natural world. As Leo Tolstoy wrote, "Spring is the time of plans and projects." Spring fever can get us off the starting block before the stifling heat and humidity of summer arrive to derail us. Time to get moving!
