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."

Full and At Ease

From the Victorian Romantic Tarot, the Ten of Cups; from the Dreaming in Color Cards, Innocence:

Guilt is the worst enemy of true happiness and self-esteem. 
—Pamela Baron Waldbauer

Back when I kept a written gratitude journal, there were days when the only three things I could think to list were pain medicine, a soft bed, and sleep. But the Ten of Cups illustrates a day when our heart is so full of joy, it is hard to put how we feel into words. Pausing and paying attention seems to help create more days such as this. Innocence reminds me of another reason that our hearts are light. When the mind is at ease, not suffering from guilt over something we've done or not done, there is no barrier to our happiness.
