From the Legacy of the Divine, the Page of Wands; from the Tea Leaf Reading Cards, Key:
A mighty flame followeth a tiny spark.
~Dante Alighieri
With the look he gives us, it's easy to tell this kid is just brimming with self-confidence. He's willing to follow his curiosity anywhere if it means an adventure will be had. My Uncle John, when he was three, decided to ride his tricycle to town. This trip was much further than just a few blocks. When he arrived, a shop keeper noticed him and asked who he was (intending to call his parents). John gave them his best friend's name, which led to some confusion when the boy's parents were called (but who helped figure out who this adventurer was). The Key symbolizes unlocking something; in this case, it is our sense of adventure. As we get older, we may become less impulsive (a good thing), but we may also lose our nerve to try new things and get stuck in a rut. This Page encourages us to find our courage, hop on our trikes, and go see what we've been missing.
my cousin david was 6 when the fire department called aunt Ruthie and said her son was on their roof. He has a full childhood of those kinds of stories :) The most exciting thing I ever did as a kid was break the gumball machine in a bank. Mom got real excited too,...
ReplyDeleteI bet she did get excited.:) Hope you got some gum anyway.
