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."

From the Dark Mansion Tarot, the Eight of Wands; from Miss Mai's Victorian Oracle, Invitation:

Creativity itself doesn't care at all about results - the only thing it craves is the process.
~Elizabeth Gilbert

My father-in-law (who retired and then opened a restaurant) had a saying when things got extremely busy and chaotic: keep your head down and your tail up. This phrase suggests a tracking dog with his nose to the ground and his tail in the air (a sign of confidence). In other words, focus on the task in front of you instead of looking at what's ahead, and you can be assured that things will get done in a timely and acceptable manner. And when those wands make a landing, you'll still be on your feet. Invitation implies a request, a chance to participate in something. A successful landing with one project nearly always opens the door to other opportunities.
