From the Wayfarer Tarot, the Star; from the Curious Oracle, the Honey Bee:
The most difficult times for many of us are the ones we give ourselves.
~Pema Chodron
The nakedness of the Star shows the moment when we are stripped bare of our assumptions. We discover that in this world, there is no such thing as an expert who can handle everything. For the moment, we are receptive and quiet. The Honey Bee (nourishment) suggests that instead of blame or self-flagellation, we rest. Later, we can look with an objective eye to see what was going on when life tilted; we can check to see if there was something we were running from instead of toward. True nourishment can come in accepting that at times, no matter how much knowledge we have, we just don't know the answers beforehand.
When we think that something is going to bring us pleasure, we don’t know what’s really going to happen. When we think something is going to give us misery, we don’t know. Letting there be room for not knowing is the most important thing of all. ~Pema Chodron
