I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

Endowment

From the Stone Tarot, the Ten of Pentacles; from the Buddhist Quote Cards, Dhammapada 1:19:



Every person has a legacy. ...it may not be something that you can write on your tombstone, but every person has an impact on this world. ―Dara Horn

These pentacles move from a room through an arch, to the outside. The legacy we leave behind involves more than money - our actions and their effects are also our continuation. The Dhammapada verse reads: "Much though he recites the sacred texts, but acts not accordingly, that heedless man is like a cowherd who only counts the cows of others — he does not partake of the blessings of the holy life." Has our life been a performative display designed to impress, or a have we modeled responsibility and accountability?
