Becoming

From the Tarot of the Secret Forest, the Three of Wands; from the Faeries' Oracle, Death:

Don't be afraid to expand yourself, to step out of your comfort zone. That's where the joy and the adventure lie. –Herbie Hancock

This fox, who has moved beyond familial territory, pauses in amazement at all that lies before him. Being willing to take a step into the unknown can open up a world of wonders and excitement that we never knew existed. Making use of the dormant potential within us can change us in positive ways. Death arrives as a bringer of natural endings. What ends? That terrified part of us that thought such change could never be navigated successfully.  As John Ruskin wrote, "The highest reward for a person's toil is not what they get for it, but what they become by it."
