Little Things

From the Tarot of the Hidden Realm, the Ace of Pentacles; from the Heart of Faerie Oracle, Faerie of Growth:

For the great doesn’t happen through impulse alone, and is a succession of little things that are brought together. ~Vincent van Gogh

The little hedgehog lives life close to the ground, always aware of things that are new are different, especially if they might be useful. He reminds me of my husband, who has a habit of spotting and picking up coins in parking lots or on walks. When looking for opportunities, many of us hold a fully developed image in mind and miss the seeds that might help us progress in that direction. The Faerie of Growth reminds us not to get stuck in a stagnating mindset, adamant that what we want only looks a particular way. As the hedgehog knows, possibilities are to be found in unusual shapes and sizes.
