"0 The Fool" and Opening Our Eyes Through Self-Discovery

As I wished the night seemed to stretch on much longer than the usual 7 hours of sleep we get most nights.  But still when the alarm serenaded us yet again I simply wanted to remain in bed.

We decided to go out and enjoy the mostly sunny day yesterday and headed back to a place we've been to several times before and that is Centennial Beach in Delta.  They have trails that meander along the shore or that take you slightly inland where one might catch glimpses of the many migratory birds that make a stop here when flying between Siberia and South America.  We saw a lot of crows, a couple of hawks, a few red-winged blackbirds, ducks, sandpipers and the ever present seagulls.

It was a beautiful day that I really enjoyed and needed as the job really brings be down and I quite detest it and make no apologies for feeling this way.  I no longer suit or fit this type of work nor does the job fit or suit me any longer.

Spirit Is and today's Gay Tarot Energy is “0 The Fool: Accepting and exploring one's sexual identity is a journey of self-discovery. Beginning a new and exciting venture.  Going beyond the limits of social convention.  A non-conformist.”

I'm drawn to the phrase "self-discovery" as yesterday I was apologizing to Spirit for not following many of the paths laid out before me, for not doing better for myself, of letting Spirit down.  As sleep came upon my and dreams filled my mind last night I felt a sense of healing, forgiveness, of being given another chance, of having another path to follow.  Another path but one that has led me to the same goals and dreams I've had for many years, success perhaps no more than a one sleep away.

Self-discovery is a great way for us to open doors for ourselves, clear our minds, find solutions that seemed impossible to find or to really know what we want to achieve in our lives, or what to expect from our lives or what we really expect from life.  Self-discovery is necessary for us to get to know who we really are and then build on that knowledge.  For knowing one's self is the only way to live a truly purposeful and prosperous life.

Thank You Spirit.
