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."

Relishing

From the Badgers Forest, the Knight of Rabbits (Wands); from the Gemstone Oracle, Citrine:



I am going to try to pay attention to the spring. I am going to look around at all the flowers and look up at the hectic trees. I am going to close my eyes and listen. 
—Anne Lamott

This Knight is described as always on the move with no clear direction. Head (and ears) on a swivel, he looks for what is agreeable, what is unpleasant and what is boring - moving toward the first and avoiding the last two. He notices things, but does he take the time to appreciate them? Does he see the flowers' colors, hear the owls hoot, feel the sun, smell the salty ocean air, or taste what he eats? Excitement and enthusiasm can cause us to tear through the moments rather than savor them. Citrine, which represents a fresh perspective, is paired with a quote by Rachel Joyce: "You could think you were starting something afresh, when actually what you were doing was carrying on as before." Relish rather than run, little rabbit.
