Wednesday, November 18, 2015. Spanish lessons are over. Last night was the eighth and final class of level one and included a potluck. Dinner was great and the flan I brought received rave reviews and requests for the recipe.
Now I need to put everything I learned into practice. And I will by combining what I learned with a Spanish book picked up a few years back. I'm quite excited to be learning a new language. One odd thing I noticed though over the course of this eight week class is that the odd French word came out when I engaged in dialogue with other students or the instructor.
Spirit Is and yesterday's Tarot Energy is "4 The Green Man: The Green Man is generous in his bestowal of creative, fertile energy and he will move you to a new level of confident and assertive dynamism. This is a time for both giving and receiving the natural flow of life both inwardly and outwardly. Be prepared to find a new and thriving drive to begin projects, relationships and even new ways of living your life and fulfilling your world. Now is the time to experience being at the apex of the cycle of life. Enjoy it!"
Today's Tarot Energy is "Four of Stones, Protection: Many trials and tribulations surface during our lifetime, and being able to endure such times is the sign of a strong heart and healthy spirit. Finding a personal place of emotional safety may require patience and a stoical dedication to the quest, but for those who have weathered adversity and know loss, the light of life will always burn brightly within them. By building on a foundation of ethical beliefs, boundaries and skills, we can be assured that when the test comes we are secure in our self-knowledge and confidence. The human ability to recognize and feel compassion for those who need help is just as important. However the storm may tear at our own inner place of protection, we must keep the faith that the sun will rise again for all those in peril and offer fresh opportunities and spiritual rewards. Such is the law of karma, that each act of selfless protection and mercy for those in need revitalizes the spiritual warrior with a sense of peace and divinity rarely found in common practice."
I believe that we are being reminded that in spite of all the violence going on around the world and in particular the latest attacks in Paris that we cannot turn away from seeing and helping those in need despite the risks involved. We need to extend a helping hand regardless of the perceived threat that some of these people may pose.
I hearken it to coming upon an accident scene and not helping the victim or victims because he/she or they might be for example a murderer or murderers or someone who committed some other heinous crime. We should not be weary of others or their intentions as it only creates unnecessary fear. If we behave this way then we cannot get upset when someone does the same to us.
Extend a helping hand, extend your spirit and extend your heart to those in need. Do not let fear get the better of you.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
