Luck or Attention?

From the Deirdre of Sorrows Tarot, the Ace of Cups; from the Victorian Flower Oracle, , Tuberose and Daffodil:

A lot of what we ascribe to luck is not luck at all. It's seizing the day and accepting responsibility for your future. It's seeing what other people don't see and pursuing that vision. 

~Howard Schultz

          The horseshoe in this Ace of Cups made me chuckle. Are the relationships we find a matter of being lucky in love or simply paying attention and following through? My money is on the latter. The warm affection and sincere devotion we have for others isn't based on what another can give us. Love is an offering that flows both ways. Tuberose, known for its use in perfume, and Daffodil, known for its showy spring blooms, are very different plants. But it appears this relationship is based on seeing the best in each other rather than being just alike. And, I would imagine, such a supportive relationship gives the other the confidence to grow into something even better. 

Come live in my heart, and pay no rent.

Do you like tacos?

From the Deirdre of Sorrows Tarot, the Eight of Coins; from the Victorian Flower Oracle, Tuberose and Daffodil:

          All these students seem to be studying different things in this classroom. Though I'm sure they all have to learn a basic core curriculum, they also branch out and follow an in depth course of study in what interests them. Thank goodness for that; I wouldn't want my electrician to give me a flu shot. Tuberose and Daffodil represent love or warm friendship, though they are very different flowers. Tuberose is considered a night-blooming plant that flowers in the summer while Daffodil is a spring flower that can be seen all day. However both flowers are bulbs. Though we all have our differences, it can help us get along if we look for at least one similarity or common interest, even if it is as simple as liking tacos.
