The 'Seven of Pentacles' and Tweaking Our Efforts with Stronger Focus Through Meditation with Nature

Friday, April 29, 2016.  Still enjoying our vacation although Serenity is now parked in storage again.  On a selfish note, at point during our stay at the Elwha Dam RV Park I thought to myself how nice it would be to be alone right now, alone with my own thoughts only having Spirit by my side.  Oh, Edith and Eugene would likely be sitting somewhere too!

Such a thought is not a bad thing and rather more likely an indication that I and perhaps we both some alone time...to simply be the individuals that we are.  Yes, I need to go camping by myself with only Spirit and as my guide and companion...

Spirit's time is now and today's Pagan Tarot Energy is the "Seven of Pentacles: Our Witch is practicing magick on plants again!  This time she is feeling frustrated because the plant isn't growing at all.  What she doesn't see is that while she is doing something wrong, she is doing something right.  Although the potted plant isn't growing, the rosebush behind her is growing and blooming like crazy.  If you are working really hard at something and don't see results, step back and take a look at the bigger picture.  Your power and ability may very well be in great working order - you might just need a little tweaking of your practices or stronger focus."

This is what the "Seven of Pentacles" is emphasizing for me today, "If you are working really hard at something and don't see results"..."you might just need a little tweaking of your practices or stronger focus."

This is been brought home to me in another area as well, working on my Experimental Railroad.  As I'm getting closer permanently affixing the track to the layout I see how tweaking I need to do to the roadbed in order to have a smooth flowing and easy transition of track from a flat run to a grade or hill, if you will.  Lots of minor adjustments are needed to get the trains running smoothly without hesitating as they go from one piece of track to another including through switches/turnouts.

So as with my model railroad so too does my spiritual life need some fine tuning and some minor adjustments made.  And especially in the area of focus, I really do need a stronger focus on my spirit and this can happen through the simple act of meditation, meditation that can take the form of a walk or hike through nature, of finding a place to stop and let nature take control where I become a part of the natural setting I'm in.  

And now that I think about it Elwha was such a spot and perhaps why I not only had the thought but the desire to be alone.  The RV Park had what I think I called a wonderful and stunning silence...nature in all her glory...beautiful and amazing!

Thank You Spirit.

Namaste.
