Free of Blinders

From the Granny Jones Australian Tarot, the Eight of Swords; from the Button Oracle, Teddy Bear:

We must reinvent a future free of blinders so that we can choose from real options.

~David Suzuki

This kitty would love to get out and try to catch a bird, but the window is firmly closed. Is there no other way outside, such as people coming and going out the doors? He's like most of us; we see an option or a solution but believe it is the only one worth pursuing. When we find that those closed, we don't bother to consider other doors that might offer us an attainable opportunity. Instead, we fruitlessly stay focused on what is out of reach. Teddy Bear represents comfort and reassurance. Whether it's a walk outside, a chat with a friend or time with a pet, we all have ways we can calm and clear our mind. And once our mind is open, we may see our options are too.
