Saturday, October 24, 2015. I watched "The Goonies" as I piddled about. Not really doing much of anything but none-the-less fiddling with my model railroad or handling a deck of Tarot cards. I slid into bed some time after 11:30pm and slept well for the most part. I awoke slightly here and there throughout the night and when I finally did open my eyes it appeared that I had more hours to sleep as it was ever so dark out. But I bravely looked at the time only to discover that it was just past 6:30am, time to slide back out of bed.
I glanced out the window and noticed that the morning is darker than usual because of a slightly cloudy sky and a thick blanket of fog that is obscuring our view of the river and is likely hiding what I'm sure is another beautiful sunrise. How can a sunrise not be beautiful? If were alive to enjoy it, it's beautiful.
I made myself an instant coffee and played around with my model railroad, emptied the dishwasher, and then communed with Spirit and Tarot after lighting a couple of candles and some incense.
Spirit Is and today's Tarot Energy is the "Four of Arrows, Rest: In this stressful and demanding world, we sometimes forget that rest is a necessary part of a healthy lifestyle and sleep a vital part of recuperation and the healing process. This primal mechanism is not just for the well-being of the body but the mind and imagination as well. Muscles need time to repair and rebuild after strenuous exertion, and the functions of the human psyche need dreams and sleep to aid the process, bringing order to what sometimes seems chaos and random machinations of daily life. Sometimes, inspiration and insight can also come through restful meditation and lucid dreaming. Welcome these insights joyfully and take note of what your subconscious is saying to you. One of the first human instincts when confronted with a survival situation in any wild environment is to find or build a shelter to provide protection from the elements and act as a safe place to rest and sleep in safety. Without that basic human security requirement, survivors often become disoriented, make poor decisions and become unable to physically complete simple and necessary tasks, eventually losing hope. Rest and sleep are vital to restore stamina and vitality."
And I must say that today is a perfect day for me and maybe for many of us to "REST" and "SLEEP" so we can "restore stamina and vitality". I'm doing a good job at this, this morning as it's 8:31am and I just finished breakfast. I simply allowing myself the time to enjoy the morning without the worry or stress of what I'd like to do today or what I think I need to stress and worry about. Today is all about "REST".
Few of us seldom take time to be quiet and still. We're always fidgeting about and trying to keep busy as we play guilt trips on ourselves if we find ourselves with apparently having nothing to do.
Let's "STOP" that and "REST" for a day. There is nothing wrong with having nothing to do or doing nothing for a day. Let's take the day off and make this a truly "Do Nothing" kind of day.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.

One Tin Soldier (Rides Again) and Put Your Hand in the Hand
Saturday, September 26th, 2015. We headed out last night, going downtown to meet up with a friend and then have a late dinner. The evening was enjoyable, we arrive home late but satisfied with the pleasantness of the night out we had. We slipped into bed pretty much as soon as we walked through the door and as quickly as we could shed our clothes. It was only an hour or so later than our usual bedtime but we were both sleepy and tired.
Yesterday as I was heading back to the office I had the radio on and soon a song was playing and my heart soul began to cry as the music and lyrics filled me with sadness as I reflected on the words and music that seeped to the very core of my being. Then I thought "What are we doing with this world live and the people that we share it with?"
Here's a link to the music if you wish to take a listen: One Tin Soldier and here is another one too: One Tin Soldier
As I listened to this music that filled my spirit with the loving presence and guidance of Spirit I came across this song: Put Your Hand in the Hand
Then as I lost myself this morning in a flickering candle flame and the rising sweet scent of 'Moon" incense I laid my card of the day spread...
...and today's Tarot Energy is the:
"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 knows 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." (Card of the Day)...
...followed by the "King of Bows, Adder: Maturity, strength of resolve, energy and wisdom. The genius and individuality of the seeker is enhanced and rewarded at every turn. Your leadership is unchallenged, your path direct, your goals realized. Seriousness, Honesty, Good intentions, Integrity, A married man, A good father, Education and wisdom" (attend to this)...
...and the "Four of Arrows, Rest: In this stressful and demanding world, we sometimes forget that rest is a necessary part of a healthy lifestyle and sleep a vital part of recuperation and the healing process. This primal mechanism is not just for the well-being of the body but the mind and imagination as well.

Rest and sleep are vital to restore stamina and vitality." (what to look out for-feelings, desires, reactions that could arise)
This phrase weighs heavily on me today "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" so much so that I want to do all that I can to help others feel a sense of peace and love in their lives, that the less fortunate can know that someone actually does care for them. The "King of Bows, Adder" encourages me to take action as I have the "maturity, strength of resolve, energy and wisdom" to not only do so but to do so knowing that I'll always land on my feet and that not only can I rest and recuperate but that those who find solace in knowing that someone cares will also be able to do the same as the energy of "Four of Arrows, Rest" washes over them and provides them with "a safe place to rest and sleep in safety."
This Card of the Day Spread encourages me and should encourage you to reach out and help someone in need and this could be the smallest and easiest act of kindness...a simple smile and an acknowledgement that they exist and are indeed a person that matters.
Thank You Spirit.
Blessed Be.
