Just Shine

From the Ferret Tarot, the Hermit; from the Nature's Wisdom Oracle, the Luna Moth:

          As one de-motivational poster (showing the Titanic sinking) put it, "It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others." But thankfully there are also those who have discovered a more joyful way to live that involves less suffering. Like the Hermit, they can let their light shine (attraction rather than promotion) or they can get on social media and advertise. Personally, I'd rather watch how someone navigates life and ask for pointers than be bombarded by nonstop promotional emails or phone calls. The Luna Moth has a wingspan of 4.5 inches and spends the whole week of its life in moth form seeking a mate rather than eating. Mating takes place after midnight, and egg-laying begins that evening. Rather than in the glare of the sun, these moths create the next generation under the soft light of the moon. Both these cards imply that a gentle approach - simply being a living example - is better than a hard sell.

Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining - they just shine.

~ Dwight L. Moody
