Every Disturbance

From the Badgers Forest Tarot, the Five of Wands; from the Gemstone Oracle, Amethyst:

The first big snow has come to Badgers Forest, and now the competition is on for finding food sources. Some run in different directions, one sniffs the air, another thinks about digging under the snow, and the last watches to see if any of the others find success. These different approaches to a problem or a project are what make working in a group both maddening yet also advantageous - more investigated avenues can create better odds for a good outcome. Amethyst is often associated with spiritual practice and inner guidance, but it has also been called the 'sobriety stone.' If competition intoxicates and overrides the main purpose of cooperation for the benefit of the whole, chaos and drama will ensue without reward. 

If we examine every disturbance we have, great or small, we will find at the root of it some unhealthy dependence and its consequent demand. ~Bill Wilson
