Behold!

From the Restored Order Tarot, the Two of Wands; from the Oracle of the Kabbalah, Hei (artwork by Andrea Beloff):

Attention, taken to its highest degree, is the same thing as prayer.

―Simone Weil

A successful businessman, judging by the bolted-on leafy staff, looks to his future. With the globe held aloft, he seems to be thinking of Shakespeare's words: "The world’s mine oyster." Should he be content with all he has, or should he dive into the opening he sees for having more? The Hebrew letter Hei means "behold," as when looking at a great sight; it can also mean breath or sigh as when one sees something wondrous. It reminds us to pause in our busyness, in our frantic attempt to get more done, add extra goods to our overflowing homes, and build up an already hefty bank account. What have we missed because of our ambitions? Will there be later regrets for joyful moments that have passed us by?
