The Self-Seeding of Love

From the Druidcraft Tarot, the Ten of Cups; from the Druid Plant Oracle, Flax:

From the Ten of Pentacles yesterday to the Ten of Cups today, these two tarot cards are different in one major aspect: one can be spent and used up while the other continues to expand and spread. Love and kindness are never wasted; even if the receiver refuses what is given, it still warmly affects the giver. It flows down to future generations and outward to the world at large. Flax has been used, among other things, for making linen cloth. On a daily basis, we are all spinning and weaving the quality of our life with our thoughts and actions. Are we aware of what we are planting and creating? Material things are transient, but not so what comes from the heart.

The rambling, roomy house on Mimosa Drive

Welcomed its first family in 1928.

The Garrisons would grow there and grieve there,

Celebrating an abundance of joyful times and finding refuge during loss.

Throughout the years, its walls, floors, and roof

Were suffused with the affection and devotion of family.

Bulldozers have now crushed its beams and crumbled its foundation,

Yet the love that grew there still remains.

How appropriate that it will soon provide parking space

For those in search of comfort and healing.
