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."

Luck or Attention?

From the Deirdre of Sorrows Tarot, the Ace of Cups; from the Victorian Flower Oracle, , Tuberose and Daffodil:

A lot of what we ascribe to luck is not luck at all. It's seizing the day and accepting responsibility for your future. It's seeing what other people don't see and pursuing that vision. 
~Howard Schultz

          The horseshoe in this Ace of Cups made me chuckle. Are the relationships we find a matter of being lucky in love or simply paying attention and following through? My money is on the latter. The warm affection and sincere devotion we have for others isn't based on what another can give us. Love is an offering that flows both ways. Tuberose, known for its use in perfume, and Daffodil, known for its showy spring blooms, are very different plants. But it appears this relationship is based on seeing the best in each other rather than being just alike. And, I would imagine, such a supportive relationship gives the other the confidence to grow into something even better. 

Come live in my heart, and pay no rent.
