Spoonfuls of Chamomile Tea

From the Badger's Forest Tarot, the Four of Rabbits (Wands); from the  Gemstone Oracle, "Magnesite:"

          This illustration made me think of Beatrix Potter's storybook, The Tale of Peter Rabbit. I can imagine Mother bunny waiting for Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter to come home for the evening. They are old enough to go off exploring during the day on their own, but at night they must return to the safety of home. Eventually they will leave and start families, but the bunnies still have some maturing to do. In fact, I'm sure Mother bunny has already gathered some chamomile flowers for Peter, knowing he probably has been busy stuffing his furry little cheeks in Mr. McGregor's garden.
          The quote and keywords for magnesite are:

Do not overlook negative actions merely because they are small; however small a spark may be, it can burn down a haystack as big as a mountain. Do not overlook tiny good actions, thinking they are of no benefit even; tiny drops of water in the end will fill a huge vessel.

~ Gautama Buddha

cause and effect, reaping what’s been sown, gracefully accepting responsibility for one’s actions

Whether raising a child or working on a project, there are times when a person can feel like nothing is making a difference. For me personally, I think I miss the progress that has been made because I have a specific vision of what the end result will look like. There's a good chance things are moving in the right direction, but taking a different route to get there. And so today I will have hope that those "tiny good actions" I do will one day bring things to fruition, even if today only a foundation has been laid.
