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."

Legacy of Wisdom

From the Tarot of the Absurd, the Ten of Coins; from the Post Psychedelic Cyberpunk, Information Exchange:

Wealth is the realization that one has enough to satisfy one’s needs.
~Jessica Rose Shanahan

A couple and their babe sit on a chest full of assets, but their eyes are on what they consider most important. Yet the Ten of Coins is about more than just money; it also includes leaving a legacy. Even if you don't have children, getting older tends to make us think about such things. The Information Exchange card suggests that the way to live a wise, joyful and full life might be the greatest treasure we could pass on. What would your words of wisdom be? For me, I think Lao Tzu sums it up in the 67th chapter of the Tao Te Ching:

I have just three things to teach:
simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
