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."

Do What You Can

From the Sacred India Tarot, the Knight of Wands; from the Land Sky Oracle, Dharma:

The most important thing is remembering the most important thing.
― Suzuki Roshi

This Knight of Wands is represented by Skanda, firstborn of Shiva, said to be graceful and handsome. He is known as the "War god" because he was created to kill the demon Taraka, a feat that only a son of Shiva could accomplish. Yet he is known for his virtuous deeds and willingness to protect the innocents from harm. The companion book's insight for this card is not to waste one's energy on trivial and petty concerns. Dharma is defined as universal truths that lead to one to accepting a moral and ethical way of living. These two cards seem to imply that talking about what is right is very different from living it.

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.
― Arthur Ashe
