From the Roots of Asia Tarot, the Ten of Cups; from the Mah Jongg Oracle, Seven Stars:
The creators of this tarot suggest that finding emotional fulfillment has nothing to do with the external - finding the perfect mate, friend or community group. Instead they suggest that it comes from a virtuous mind, one that does not covet, entertain thoughts of malice, or hold distorted views. Those that do these things never can seem to find any contentment because their focus is always on what isn't right in the world. The Seven Stars (part of the Ursa Major) was considered the seat of the gods by the ancient Chinese; it symbolizes creative imagination. Our imagination often creates our reality, seeing it either in a good or bad light. But reality is full of joy and sorrow, birth and death, hatred and kindness. Better to see the whole (and undistorted view) rather than just a part.
If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you'll never enjoy the sunshine.

I could speculate all day what those figures are doing :) Going camping for awhile, see you when we get back. You are welcome to collect the eggs! s.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to sit with your girls. :) Enjoy your camping trip!
DeleteIt may take a lifetime to realize having money, big house, and all sorts of stuff doesn't make you happy and thus the realization that not having never had the power to make us happy or unhappy. It's mostly in our head.
ReplyDeleteWe can convince ourselves so easily.
