From the
Prisma Visions Tarot, the Lovers; from the Secret Language of Color Cards, 'Emerald:'
Last night, right before sundown, our electricity came back on. It's been a week of survival for our community since Hurricane Michael roared through. It will probably take us at least a year to get back to normal. But being able to cool off in 90F degree weather with air conditioning and a cold drink can make anyone feel like dancing. My muscles are sore from cleaning up debris and cramping from dehydration, but I feel like swirling and shouting with glee. I can't help but compare the last card I drew before the hurricane (Nine of Cups) that focused on contentment and today's draw of being in love with life. There was a week of hell in between. Yet the Emerald card reminds me that I can maintain sanity through just about anything if I remember to take care of the mind, body, and soul. As James Baraz explains:
When we are not attached to who we think we are, life can move through us, playing us like an instrument. Understanding how everything is in continual transformation, we release our futile attempts to control circumstances. When we live in this easy connection with life, we live in joy.
