Productive Schedules

From the Mary-El Tarot, the Queen of Disks; from the OH Cards, Schedule/Lie:

          White writes that the Greeks and Romans thought diamonds were the tears of gods. Actual tears contain a substance that our body needs to control fluid balance and keep our muscles and nerves working correctly - salt. And such a valuable substance is descriptive of this Queen, who might be known as the "salt of the earth." Reliable and resourceful, she creates environments where people and things can grow strong and be productive. Her kindness is shown in how she protects the well-being of those in her care.
          If you have a job or are responsible for people, it's impossible not to have at least a loose schedule. Appointments, meetings, gathering and dispersing resources must all be done in a timely manner. Even the simplest of things, like keeping your houseplants watered, have repercussions when ignored or forgotten. But the word card "lie" has implications for basing my life around tight, inflexible scheduling. I might be more productive this way, but probably not very kind. It's the people and other living things that are important, not the schedule itself. I need to make time for interruptions too.
