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."

FWMO

From the Tarot of the Abyss, the Four of Cups; from the Nature Mandala Meditation Oracle, Safety:
How well I know with what burning intensity you live. ...you just have to have these rest periods in between. ― anais nin

Most of us are aware of FOMO (fear of missing out), but there's also a FWMO (fine with missing out). Any big project or commitment we're involved in takes not only physical and mental effort, it can also sap emotional energy too. When we've invested a lot of our spirit into anything, we need a chance to recharge, which might involve rest or play. But the Safety card suggests there is a mental line we should be wary of crossing. When we begin feeling as though we have no worth, purpose or support, we need to seek out our friends (especially those who make no demands). We need to be reminded that we are connected to more than just our accomplishments.
