From the Dark Mansion Tarot, the Ace of Wands; from Miss Mai's Victorian Oracle, The Stranger:
Exploring the unknown requires tolerating uncertainty.
~Brian Greene
Against a fiery sky, a burly branch rises from a pedestal. It has no leafy growth because its potential has not been used and nurtured. Just as the Stranger card represents the unknown, there is a big question mark about what will happen if we engage with our creative inspiration. Will the results be beneficial and rewarding, or will our effort be for naught? We'll never know until we begin, letting go of the need to control every variable and refusing to have set-in-concrete expectations. Regardless of how the mystery unravels, we'll have an adventure ahead.
I think on some level, you do your best things when you're a little off-balance, a little scared. You've got to work from mystery, from wonder, from not knowing.
~Willem Dafoe
We never know until we try. It's the getting started that is the issue.
ReplyDeleteThat first step can be the hardest.
DeleteI love the change that (mostly) happens when we speak to a stranger.
