The 10 of Wands and How Lucky I Really Am

Sleep did not come easily last night and when it did it was sporadic and short-lived.  I awoke many times and finally decided to get out of bed shortly after 6:00am.

Life can be a challenge for those of us who feel that we just don’t fit in and we mud try and do our best to make living life comfortable for ourselves.  Life can be better than this however it will take generations to make the changes that will create equality and balance for all and reduce or eliminate altogether man’s desire for war as a way to handle some disagreements.

So in saying all of this I am myself making adjustments to my life and when I can fully embrace and live out my dreams and goals for life.  It has taken me many years to get to this point but the lessons have not been lost on me and I am for the most part living my dreams and goals by living life fully, embracing my dreams and goals as well having a more realistic plan to make them happen.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “10 of Wands: The Burden.  Responsibilities.  Obligations.  Overcommitting yourself.  Realizing that burdens are a part of life.”

Life can hard and difficult at times and our blessings and fortunes impossible to see but this is the time focus on the little things in life we often take for granted that are indeed true blessings and small fortunes—a home to live in, running water, indoor plumbing, food, heat, clothing and so much more.  I do have more than enough and am very fortunate to be living the life and the lifestyle I’m living today.  So I’ll go easy on myself and eliminate my complaining as much as I can, half the battle is my attitude and with a slight adjustment there things are not so bad after all.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

5 of Swords and Seeing the Bigger Picture

I had a good day yesterday, got lost in going to the dentist, driving to Commercial drive to meet up for coffee, then driving back home via a trip to the grocery to get a few things for tonight’s dinner with co-workers and friends.  Our day then was spent at home for the rest of the afternoon and evening.

I fell asleep thinking about Spirit and the elements-earth, air, fire, and water and awoke with my thoughts with all of these again.  In fact as I communed with Spirit and the elements before arising from the bed, I was seeing myself holding earth in my hands as I worked with earth, a cloud of air when I worked with air, a ball of fire when I worked with fire, and cupping and releasing water as I worked with water.  As I thought about nature I was filled with a sense of all of nature for all of millennia and same as I worked with Spirit.

I was amazed by this encounter with all that was, is, and always ever will be.  What an experience to have before getting out of bed!

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “5 of Swords: The Tennis Game.  A game which gets out of hand.  A pattern of always needing to win, or to lose.”

I was lost with the appearance of this card as the image is just what is written above so I had to reference some other materials to further my understanding of this card.  And I discovered that what is more fitting is to see my “self” as encompassing the world or better put is that the world encompasses me, we are one and the same, and integral part of one another, the two cannot be separated.  What we do affects everything.  And although, we must protect ourselves from harm we must also look at the bigger picture and find solutions to our problems and dilemmas in light of the greater whole.

This planet, Mother Gaia is not ours to do with as we please.  We must have a symbiotic relationship with her and respect her and all that she has to offer.  A good analogy to this is that we are now crossing the line and abusing her beyond measure and we should know better.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Guide of Swords and Life is Bigger Than All of Us

Had a good day yesterday, limping along with my RV project and wrapping up chores around the house.  Our evening was quiet and pleasant and I slept well—though I seemed to be traveling in my sleep…could be due to our upcoming trip, leaving Thursday.  Taking the car in today for an oil and filter change as well as an overall inspection, making sure she’s good to go for a road trip.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Guide of Swords: A wider perspective.  Altruistic thoughts.  Messages from the higher self.”

Life is more than just about me.  I like to be straight forward and candid and do my best not to hurt feelings by being honest and truthful.  I do my best to take it easy and not judge the human folly that fills daily life.  We’re human after all and we all tend to suffer from days where our brains just do not seem to be working and we go ahead and do something foolish.  And with the technology today, such folly is likely to make to the airwaves in one fashion or another.

Life is about more than just me.  I have a great life to be thankful for and I do my best to give thanks for the blessings and I would even say the privileges I have in this life, not everything is a right after all…Thank You Spirit for the reminder that I share the world with 7 billion plus other people and that I need to be thankful, more than just thankful for the life I have, I need to give of myself and give back, or pay it forward, for this wonderful life I have.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
