Seven of Bows, Clearance

Saturday, June 27th, 2015.  I finished installing the venting for the range.  It didn't come exactly as I planned it nor does it look very pretty but it'll do the trick.  Since I didn't finish this until almost 7:30pm we decided to go out for dinner and ended up at 'Bubble World'.  Dinner was pretty good, service was a bit slow but not unexpected and as has been our experience in the past in other establishments similar to this one our meals came out about fifteen minutes apart.  No big deal though.  We also had one of their fruit slushy offerings.  A good overall meal that didn't break the bank.   One thing I really loved about the restaurant is the decor.  Very well done!

We came home and relaxed for the rest of the evening and then crawled into bed around 11:00pm.  I slept well for awhile, then tossed and turned the rest of my sleep and slipped quietly out of bed around 6:00am.

Spirit Is and today's visiting Tarot is the "Seven of Bows, Clearance: All things must change and evolve, and however well prepared or carefully constructed your tools and skills, challenges and obstacles may require rethinking and relearning.  Bows wear out and eventually fracture under constant use, stress and tension.  Arrows warp through damp and strenuous flexing and lose their strength and accuracy.  Change is a natural part of the process of renewal although it can be painful (pain brings change and change brings pain), it must be seen as a positive turn of the Wheel and necessary for new life to begin.  Welcoming the clearing of the old and worn and preparing the ground for new growth is vital.  New shoots and spring saplings will be starved of light and nutrients in the soil if the ground is not cleared.  Old boughs and stumps should be removed to ease the process of saying goodbye to a tool or concept that has outlived its practical life.  By allowing the passing of the old and clearing of the ground to take place with an element of welcoming and acceptance of change, the feelings of relief and poignancy may aid the healing process, giving comfort."

What do we need to sweep away from our lives to make way for new growth and evolution?  How can we best organize our priorities and make effective decisions?  The time prioritize and make decisive decisions is today!

It may pain us to let something go or even by simply postponing to a better time however we must build ourselves a solid foundation on which to grow and in order to do this we often have to weed the garden so-to-speak.

For me, as much as I desire to purchase a camper van, this is not the time for me to make such a decision or take such a financial leap.  I'll postpone such a purchase to the fall while I build myself a foundation that will provide me with the solid footing needed to handle such a significant purchase.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
