The Freedom of Limits

From the Prisma Visions Tarot, the Emperor; from the Secret Language of Color Cards, Orange:

This Emperor's scepter seems to pulse with concentrated power. The booklet suggests that by accepting structure, we are more likely to grow in meaningful ways and maximize our time and energy. If you know someone who is dispersed in their thinking and actions, it's easy to see the wisdom in this idea. Such folks are like a pinball in an arcade game, occasionally hitting their target but often missing what's important altogether. A lot of energy is expended for few beneficial results. When I think of the color Orange, I think of the citrus fruit and of glowing coals. One provides vitamin C and the other the energy for warmth or cooking. It's easy to push against boundaries and rules, thinking they constrict our creativity, but sometimes they are the healthy and useful limits we need.

In limits, there is freedom. Creativity thrives within structure.
