From the Tarot of the Abyss, the Seven of Cups; from the Nature Mandala Meditation Cards, Speak from the Heart:
There's nothing wrong with giving your imagination some time to play, but it's another thing to completely ignore all the facts. An ungrounded life of fantasy is a life of stagnation - there's nothing available for traction to actually get us anywhere. In dreamland, there are no real life choices to be made and no proactive actions to be taken. We exist in a state of wishful hope, with plenty of expectations yet nothing concrete to build upon. Speak from the Heart suggests communicating with kindness, only motivated by a wish for the other's well-being. When someone is stuck in a destructive pattern, we can gently tell them what we see as a witness, not to judge only to caution. They may become angry and resentful no matter how tender our communication. Yet that seems a better choice than letting them crash and burn, then later asking, "Why didn't someone tell me?"
Think about the best way to communicate your message beforehand or get ready to do some damage control afterward. ―Frank Sonnenberg
