The 'Knight of Arrows, Hawk' and the 'Seven of Bows, Clearance'

Thursday, March 13th, 2015.  We hit the beach last night to catch the sunset and although the temperatures are warm during the height of the day they cool off rather quickly as the sun begins setting and getting closer to the horizon.  It was a nice time of soaking up the sounds of the crashing waves against the sand as well as hearing the earth breathe as I closed my eyes and listened with my soul and spirit.  We ate a nice peanut butter and jam sandwich while enjoying the beach and then hit McDonalds for a quick meal, a nice healthy salad with grilled chicken.

Yesterday's visiting Tarot is the "Knight of Arrows, Hawk: A quicksilver messenger of fate, the Hawk can help and support you to see through layers of doubt and uncertainty to the problem at the heart of the matter.  Be swift and subtle and use your common sense to progress.  Heroism, Disputation, Subtlety, Clear-sightedness, Impetuosity, Anger, Holding a grudge, Valour."

And this card evoke feelings of action, of doing, of getting on with being who I am instead of pretending to be someone I'm not.

Sleep last night was quite decent and I awoke surprised as I was not expecting to hear the alarm when it sounded.  I felt as if I had another hour or two of sleep.  Alas, it was the alarm and time to get out of bed.

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."

I welcome and accept change as I learn new skills, develop new talents, trust my intuition more and move further along on the spiritual path that is closer and truer to my nature.  Yes, change can be frightening and painful however if we take a step back and look at the larger picture we gain a better understanding of why this change is necessary and why it's taking place now.

Let us embrace change so we can move on, breathe easier and focus on the important things in life.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
