Monkey Wrenches

From the Songs for the Journey Home Tarot, the Five of Flame Songs (Wands); from the Magic Neko Deck, the Queen of Clubs:

When there is too much order, too much management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. 

― Tom Robbins

A person sleeps, having strange dreams about earthquakes, floods and volcanic eruptions. Funny how we can go to bed with things on an even keel, then wake up to discord and disruption. The past with its traditions has collided into the present with its innovations. If we're wise, we won't immediately take sides; instead, we can act as a juror who listens to both sides attentively before rendering an opinion. But the Queen of Clubs takes things a little further - this ninja kitty suggests we act more covertly and cautiously. Rather than an opinion, we can ask questions of both sides and dig out more information. The more the parties explain in detail, the more likely they might come to a compromise without us ever having to choose a side. If not, then at least we have enough knowledge to make a wise judgment.
