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."

Rippling Along

From the Spacious Tarot, the Three of Cups; from the Phenomena Oracle, Tornado:

Although there are rocks and tree roots,
Rippling along, just rippling along,
The water runs.
―Wariko Kai

Like the rocks and tree roots Kai poetically describes, we all meet obstacles and challenges in the stream of life. But it is our companions who help us keep our sense of humor, anchor us when we feel adrift, and provide a light when all we see is darkness. Life is a collective journey, and we should consider our contribution to those around us. The Tornado, on the other hand, is the symbol of destructive chaos. There will always be pot-stirrers, those addicted to drama, and the entitled who refuse to maintain a balance of give and take. If we lose the thread that connects us - love and supportive kindness - we allow the destruction of something precious.

  1. In sales I have learned to suffer through the chaos of others; buying or selling homes is stressful. Now I have no desire to continue with the drama, pretty much anybody's drama.

  2. There is enough stress inherent in life - no need to create extra!

  3. I think most of the everyday world folks are wore out from the dramas. How can people live in a constant state of uproar?
