10:30pm and we are relaxing at home after taking in a few exhibits at the Museum of Vancouver this morning. We enjoyed ourselves as we entered the world and mind of Tobias Wong, a designer, artist, a freethinking human being who tried his best to cast aside labels and definitions of either himself or his work. We then browsed remnants of neon signs that once filled the streets of Vancouver, some worked others didn’t, rusty flaky paint on a few, while others lit up the room. Then it was onto the sex exhibit and where sexual education takes place in the world, classroom, bedroom, on the street. Lunch at Las Margaritas, coffee at Caffe ́ Artigiano, then homeward bound. We had a good day hanging with our friend.
What I wanted to actually write about is the “10 of Wands” and what the image on the card evokes in me and that is travel. Every time I see that card and its image I think travel. I appreciate the interpretation of this card as well as the aspects and imagery of this card in other decks however this particular card from Gay Tarot really awakens the travel bug in me.
With that being said, it is likely that when I get onto traveling in my rig, my RV, my home on wheels the road is likely to a long hard haul with many a bump along the way. This card appearing as often as it is provides me with a message that I need to be courageous and up to the challenges that will come with my decision to pull up my roots and drive away from the comforts of the life I’m now living. Here right now my life is comfortable and relatively easy and relaxed but this will all end as soon as I pack my belongings and set forth on an adventure that is risky and full of the unknown.
When I get the RV back into relatively good shape I should come clean with owning her and wanting to set out on a road trip to test the water so-to-speak. I’ll need to play my hand carefully and by ear and just go for it and see where the cards fall as I can no longer afford to keep this a secret any longer.
Thank You Spirit.
And I can also say the same about the “3 of Wands” as I’ve finally realized that it’s me that I’ve been nurturing and alongside of myself, my partner has also been nurturing me for the eventuality of me having to strike out on my own. I’ve grown up some, still need to learn from making a few recent mistakes however I’m as ready as I’ll ever be to strike out and live a bit of this life on my own and under my own steam and responsibility.
Mind you having said all of this I may only take incremental steps in this new direction but the steps will surely grow ever larger the more I strike out on my own in my trusty little rig. Maybe I’ll make my summer home at the Shadow Falls Campground out towards Harrison Hot Springs. It’s got full hook-ups and it’s close to home.
Gotta do it!
Shadow Falls, here I come!
Woohoo! Yee haw...
I need to keep focused on love, compassion, caring, nurturing Spirit, reminding myself that I cannot run away from anything and instead I must be heading toward something. I need to be open-minded and honest, full of integrity and forthrightness and know that I’ve wanted to RV all of my life and that all I am trying to do is simply fulfill a dream of mine the best way that I can.
Thank You Again Spirit!
