It seems I always draw the Four of Swords when I feel like I don't have time to spare. :) It was a nice reminder to slow down and relax, even for a moment. I guess we do live forwards and backwards, but maybe it's the pauses that keep us sane. :)thesycamoretreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15182019323050600440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948441046758510841.post-1088170782786980062015-02-28T13:13:13.576-05:002015-02-28T13:13:13.576-05:00I just bought the Pagan Cat Tarot and am awaiting ...I just bought the Pagan Cat Tarot and am awaiting its arrival. Fun to see you using it here. It was a toss-up between it and the Mystical Cats Tarot. I've got no animal themed decks at all, nothing quirky like that, they're all RWS or Thoth based with a few uncategorizable but serious decks. But for reasons my rational, sober self can't quite explain these two cat Tarot decks have me intrigued. I ended up buying Mystical Cats as an app.<br /><br />At any rate, your post is a nice reminder to take intentional time out. I have always loved the Four of Swords card and it's fun to see this depiction of it.<br /><br />As for the Kierkegaard quote~ my instinctive response was something like 'yabbut, what about the fact that in actuality we live life backwards and forwards at the same time. The question for me then becomes, How present am I? Which ties in nicely with your Four of Swords reflections :)Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13895509286985960682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948441046758510841.post-90253323907540604272015-02-28T10:42:03.327-05:002015-02-28T10:42:03.327-05:00Love the visual metaphor :DLove the visual metaphor :DEllenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617686222764658629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948441046758510841.post-26706597518534681032015-02-28T10:23:27.209-05:002015-02-28T10:23:27.209-05:00Coloring is a great way to be creative because it ...Coloring is a great way to be creative because it usually eliminates the inner critic that comes out when drawing.

But it is so much more effective when I paint or meditate so I find it hard to understand why I keep doing this.:)<br />I hope you can find the time to take a power nap today<br />hugsEllenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617686222764658629noreply@blogger.com
