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."

Each Moment

From the Tarot of the Cat People, the King of Wands; from the Insectorum Divinorum, the Ant:



Each moment is different and new. The antidote for the poison of boredom is simply to pay closer attention. There is always something happening, no matter how subtle. 
―Kimberly Brown

Look at that expression of pleasure on this cat's face! The seat of his King's throne never stays warm long, because he's a 'go and do' kind of guy. There's always excitement and changes in his wake, and this kitty gets to tag along for all of it. But unlike his knight, the King of Wands will finish what he starts. For most of us, the beginning of any project is the most fun, then our enthusiasm begins to wane. We may feel like the Ant, mired in worker mode, trudging through each task. But even the Ant would tell us there is much to see and experience if our mind is not stuck in the future where we'd rather be but in the present where we are.
