Relinquishment

From the Wheel of Change Tarot, the Six of Coins; from the Oracle of the Dreamtime, Crow:

We can hardly call a beggar an obstacle to generosity.

~Dalai Lama

The Six of Coins is about balance in receiving and giving. It asks us if we have taken more than we need to sustain us, or whether pride has kept us from asking for what we need. The story of Crow is about trickery used to get a hoarded resource (fire), and Crow's sense of entitlement to control it once he had it (which didn't work out well for him). We all feel as though we have a right to what we own, and we find it hard to relinquish any of our comforts. Yet can we can we consider whether letting go of some things could create a little more balance in the world?
