From the Shadowscapes Tarot, the Chariot; from the Cedar Runes, Uruz:
Moore envisions this Chariot driver as Nike, the Greek goddess of victory. By focusing on intent and will, obstacles can be overcome and triumph ours. But while self-confidence is grand, it must be paired with self-discipline as well. Uruz represents the aurochs, an ancient wild ox. It symbolizes strength, endurance and health. I've been stuck in a chair dealing with an intense situation for three days from sun-up to sun-down (not by choice). I've got a lot of arthritis in my lower back, and sitting with little movement locks joints up and causes intense pain. But today, I've been given an unexpected reprieve - a day off. While I'd love to lie in the bed, I think a visit to the chiropractor is in order if I'm going to make it through the next two weeks and cross the finish line. Discipline it is.
Oh Oh. Nothing you can't handle, I hope, but it doesnt sound like fun.
ReplyDeleteI was on a grand jury for a murder trial. One of the witnesses accidentally let slip some information that was prohibited, so today the judge declared a mistrial without prejudice (meaning she can be tried again). That meant we were all released from our duty and they begin assembling another group of jurors.
DeleteI’m so relieved for you and your painful back! (J)
DeleteMe too, but I do feel for the family who have waited a long time for justice.
