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."

Adulting

From the Tarot of the Absurd, the Ten of Sticks; from the Post Psychedelic Cyberpunk deck, Maze:


This card should be called 'adulting.' If we mature into responsible people with duties and obligations, we'll all have those days when life seems overwhelming. Requests and demands can seem like a list we never make a dent in: find, fix, pay, buy, solve, contact, clean, create, finish, etc. The Maze card indicates that lost feeling, when confusion, frustration and exhaustion leave us thinking there is no way out. But is this true? The to-do list might be real enough, but is it possible to delegate, ask for help or leave some things undone until there is less to do? Can we operate from needs rather than expectations?

The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem. —Theodore Isaac Rubin
