Walking the Middle Path

From the Tarot of Timeless Truth, Temperance:

The theme of "balance" seems to continue through today. In this card, Temperance has an active/creative side and a peaceful/receptive side. It encourages me to find a compromise between all the activity I need to do with some relaxing time for myself. To do this, I'm going to have to prioritize what absolutely needs to be done today, and what can wait. It will also help if I can delegate some tasks to other people, and thus free up more time. But I also must not distract myself from the work I need to accomplish by mindless diversions like surfing the internet. Perhaps I should pencil in both work and play on my schedule today.

From the Rune Cards comes the card "Grave / Ear:"

Here if you're outside the city limits and get a permit, you can burn leaves, limbs and fallen trees now. This is the time of year to clean up before winter sets in. The pyre burning in the background remind me of the biblical saying "ashes to ashes, dust to dust." It's time to clean up all the litter in my head and burn it away, otherwise it will keep me from making progress. And what I need to toss on that bonfire is my need for perfection - not so much for myself, but for what I do for others. I'm sure they don't expect it, so why in the world would I demand it of myself?
