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."

The Change We Seek

From the Greenwood Tarot, the Six of Arrows (Swords); from the Rune Cards, Horse (Ehwaz):

Our habitual and often default ways of thinking and reacting cause us to suffer.
~Rebecca Li

Years ago, Stephen Stills wrote a song called "Love the One You're With." This card's anthem could be called "Love the One Within." It is a choice to stop blaming, sighing and ranting; instead, we become aware of our own mindset and attitude and how they affect our well-being. Potter's card shows six swords arranged in a six-pointed star - a symbol of peace and harmony. It's time to be a good partner to our own self and start choosing the thoughts and actions that will help us find equanimity. Horse (Ehwaz) implies partnership and movement. As Barack Obama eloquently said, "Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."
