It's in the Details

This week I'll be using the Fountain Tarot, created and self-published by Jonathan Saiz, Jason Gruhl, and Andi Todaro. Along with it I'll also be drawing from Devas of Creation, created by Cilla Conway and published by CC3 Publishing. Today's cards are the Lovers and "Cell:"

          These two cards, one dealing with relationships and the other with molecular biology, remind me of how life rests on the simplest of details. Even slight changes or alterations at this level can have a huge impact on my connections with other people or my body over time. At home, if someone leaves the house or goes to bed, we always part by saying "I love you." I think it may have started because so many loved ones we assumed we'd see again never came back. We feel the need to tenderly touch on an emotional level, even briefly, to make sure the connection stays healthy. Some days my body aches or my mind is full of tasks that need to be done. It's easy to overlook these details of love, to pass by them as if they were unimportant. Yet they are the foundation on which my relationships are built; continued stability will require a selfless effort.   

Daylily

(a flower with blooms that only last a day)

We met at the gate

A year of separation

Now one day of joy.
