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."

Out of the Rubble

From the Prairie Tarot, the Tower; from the Medicine Cards, Jaguar:

Life is not about how many curve balls you encounter, but rather adjusting your perspective, to effectively handle each curve in life. ~Laura D. Field

Just when life is humming along, when we've got our ducks in a row and feel content, THE UNEXPECTED shows up. This is not the bouquet of flowers kind of surprise - more of a 2 x 4 to the head. And its not something that we can sweep under the rug or distract ourselves from; it must be dealt with. Jaguar, in Mayan mythology, devoured those who were dishonorable. Its Medicine is said to be integrity and impeccability. In the case of the Tower, it suggests avoiding blame and excuses as well as habitual patterns that might have set the crash into motion. Honesty, awareness and compassion can bring clarity, showing us the most skillful way out of the rubble.
