This week I'll be using the Granny Jones Australian Tarot, created by Granny Jones (Rebecca Jones) and published by Kangaroo Press. Along with it, I'll be drawing from the Button Oracle, a set I made myself from a collection of buttons. Today's draws are the Four of Swords and Horseshoe:
When it comes right down to it, wherever you go, there you are.
― Jon Kabat-Zinn
Hurray for Granny! Looks like she's found a little island where she can rest and get away from it all. But did her mind pack a bag filled with her worries and stress too? Mindfulness practice doesn't mean a brain wipe; we simply keep our attention active and open to where we are and what's going on around us without judging. When the past or future interferes, we give it a quick nod, then come back to where we are. As Jon Kabat-Zinn stated, "Breathe, then let be." It's a work in progress. Horseshoe represents good fortune, and its quote comes from Bret Harte: "The only sure thing about luck is that it will change." Her words may be true, yet that doesn't mean we shouldn't enjoy a wonderful day. On the contrary, we should relish each second by keeping our mind where our body is.
