Bridging the Gulf

From the New Liminal Tarot, the Page of Discs; from the Inward Oracle, Love:

          With her pup by her side, this sweet Page holds a freshly painted shield of the four seasons. This Page is often known as a student, but she does more than just study and learn. She must take what she has learned and apply it in daily life, whether it is practicing artistic skills or taking care of a dog. In the Love card, a woman practices restorative yoga by lying back on a bolster in a heart-opening posture. Another woman uses the energy healing of reiki on her resting companion. Just as the Page knows to apply what she's learned, so too is how love is supposed to be practiced. Understanding love is not the same as showing love to ourselves or another person. Knowledge is not action. 

One of the great tragedies of life is that men seldom bridge the gulf between practice and profession, between doing and saying. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
