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."

Practicing Patience

From the Sheridan Douglas Tarot, the Five of Cups; from the Pages of Shustah cards, Witch Hazel Tree:


This seems like an apt card to draw today. My daughter who works at the library got a call last night that a coworker has Covid, so we're all under quarantine while she waits for a Covid test on the 31st. I'm sad that we're still doing this over and over, but those two cups standing are reminders that we've all been vaccinated and boosted. Plus, our area will be dipping down into the twenties (F) the next couple of nights (temperatures for which folks here don't have the right clothes for), so staying in would be the sane thing to do anyway. The Witch Hazel Tree represents healing and pending improvements. I look forward to the day when this virus is treated like the flu with a yearly vaccination rather than viewed as such a deadly one that fills up our hospitals.

To lose patience is to lose the battle. — Mahatma Gandhi

      We all got the flu vaccine too - we're seeing a lot of 'fluvid' here.
