From the Songs for the Journey Home, Wind Creating (Queen of Swords); from the Raven Cards, "You have chosen:"
The Queen of Pentacles is mature enough to know that no one knows everything (even herself). So she constantly seeks a higher, wider perspective in order to see more of the whole. We all need other viewpoints to see the entire landscape of a situation in order to make better and more appropriate choices. Yet even when we are open-minded, the Raven suggests we may need the support and refuge found in another who is wiser and more experienced. No matter how smart we think we are, there are times when we all need a little help and guidance.
Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old. ~Epicurus
we love the BBC series Lewis. In one of the episodes is the line something like "they thought they were One in a million, when really they were one Of millions" ... referring to perps who thought they were smarter than everyone else.
ReplyDeleteHeehee, I guess we all have moments when we think we're experts. I'll have to look for that series!
DeleteI was taught as many have been to seek assistance showed weakness. We not anymore, I have learned the lesson that the help of others is a good thing. We are not islands unto ourselves.
ReplyDeleteThat is a hard lesson to unlearn.
