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."

A Moment Before

From the Tarot of the Absurd, the Ace of Cups; from the Post-psychedelic Cyberpunk Oracle, the Question:


What is happiness? It’s a moment before you need more happiness.
Don Draper

Soaking in exuberant joy, this woman has filled and now holds her own cup of happiness. What prevents us from doing the same? We often have joyful times, but then our mind begins to churn out thoughts like: "I wish I could stay in this place forever; tomorrow I have to go back to the daily grind." We've stepped out of our cup of happiness as soon as we seek to make it last longer or bemoan the end of it. Instead, we could fully appreciate the experience while we're in it. The Question advises that we look for answers by asking the right questions. If we're thinking that something or someone is keeping us from being content, perhaps we need to look closer to home and question our own choices and motives.
