The "Four of Arrows - Rest"

Sunday, May 3rd, 2015.  Caught a glimpse of the (almost) Full Moon last night.  What a glorious sight.  Might not be awake enough to celebrate the Full Moon tonight so last night was it.  Somewhere along our travels yesterday I picked up a cold or I'm suffering from severe allergy attack.

We made our way to Pacific Spirit Regional Park late morning and spent a couple of hours hiking along various trails throughout the park.  I've lived in Vancouver for twenty-one years and this is my first visit to this wonderful park.

Then we hit Moderne Burger on Broadway for lunch.  As usual we thoroughly enjoyed our burgers, fries, cola, and vanilla malted shake.

Then we hit Room For Cream on Kingsway for our afternoon coffee and were extremely disappointed with them.  Upon further investigation of the type of coffee they are using we realized why we didn't like the coffee.  The brand is one of our least favourites.

Then it was onto home and relaxing time.

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "Four of Arrows - Rest", courtesy of the Wild Wood Tarot.

As this card implies it's time to take a moment, well more than moment to fully recharge and re-energize our lives-mind, body, and spirit.  And in this day and age taking time to slow down and engage in a whole lot of doing nothing proves to be a challenging for most of us, myself included.  I can never simply sit and do nothing.  I'm trying to relax but then I'll feel a need to do something, anything to over this self-inflicted guilt for doing nothing when something be getting done.

And rest also includes getting a good night's sleep.  How many of us can claim that we're getting enough sleep.  Very few is my guess.  Late to bed and early to arise.  Five or six hours of sleep is what I'm working on and this isn't healthy.  The only things I have going for me are living an active lifestyle and eating quite healthy.

Spiritually, I'm n the right track through Tarot, gazing at the Moon, reading "Witches and Pagans", and visiting nature.  We are a part of wonderful creation, Gaia, Mother Earth and all the energy of the cosmos.  We should do our best to live and breathe nature and the cosmos to keep this energy coursing through our veins and inhabiting every atom of our beings.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
