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."

Counter Argument

From the RainShadow Tarot, the Ten of Wands; from the Liminal Spirits Oracle, Fiber:

Our brains have evolved to keep us alive. They’re really good at being anxious, seeing the negative, and what can go wrong, and really bad at seeing the present moment just as it is.
―Anthony Tshering

If we are devoted to anyone or anything, there will be times when we feel overburdened, when we feel that our efforts and care just cannot keep pace with the need. Yet the Fiber card asks, "What thoughts are we weaving into with our actual experience?" Our projections and assumptions can make the weight on our shoulders feel much, much heavier than it is. But we can counter these thoughts with more realistic ones: Nothing lasts forever; things change. There are resources and hands to help if we're willing to reach out. Even when our lives are filled with busyness, there are still beauty and small wonders to be seen.
