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."

No Standing Still

From the Anna K Tarot, the Six of Rods; from the Meditation Cards, "Energy Use:"


There's nothing wrong in being proud of an accomplishment or allowing others to recognize our efforts and success. In fact, when the next challenge comes along, remembering our past victory can help us stay the course with confidence. Yet "Energy Use" suggests that we not become complacent and rest on our laurels. As Rumi writes:

You have the energy of the sun in you, 
but you keep knotting it up at the base of your spine. 
You're some weird kind of gold
 that wants to stay melted in the furnace,
so you won't have to become coins.

Even the progress we've made will be lost if we simply sit on the couch as this point. We can, however, try something different or do things with a new twist. The idea is to keep evolving as life unfolds.
