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."

Laser-like Focus

From the Greenwood Tarot, the Eight of Stones (Pentacles); from the Rune Cards, Day (Dagaz):

The successful warrior is the average man, with laser-like focus. 
— Bruce Lee

A person sits alone in a cave, surrounded by beasts and beings he or she has carved and painted on the stone walls. Potter suggests this card is about the ability to work alone independently and with deep concentration. Such work comes from the depth of the soul, something AI could only semi-replicate. As Terry Goodkind wrote, "Art reveals the artist’s inner self. Art reveals a man’s ideals, what he values." Dagaz (Day) is a rune that symbolizes the end of one cycle and the beginning of another, which includes the potential for new growth. Working in solitude has its advantages, but coming back out of our cave can help stimulate inspiration and new ideas.
