An Unexpected Hiatus

Wednesday, November 19th, 2014.  I had an unexpected hiatus from my daily writing and blogging routine thanks to a computer failure that was apparently brought about through an unknown virus.  A few computers in the neighbourhood supposedly caught this same virus.  Quite odd!

I missed the whole writing and blogging affair that I’ve been doing over the past several years.  I’m glad to be back in the writing groove once more.

Thank You Spirit.

Friday, November 14th saw “VIII Justice: Even today, gays can be the victims of “justice”.  An unfair judgment.  Being too judgemental or righteous.  Feeling restricted by others’ expectations.” and “XII The Hanged Man: Living in the moment.  Being fully absorbed in the present.  Nonattachment to goals.  Seeing things from a new angle.” visit.

Saturday, November 15th, 2014.  Happy 10th Anniversary to my partner and myself.

Saturday, November 15th saw “XVI Revelation: While it is usually best to tell the truth about yourself to those who are close to you, it can be a painful experience.  A necessary destruction of the status quo.  Having to tell someone an unwelcome truth.  A new idea which upsets others.” and “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.” visit.

Sunday, November 16th saw “XVI Revelation: While it is usually best to tell the truth about yourself to those who are close to you, it can be a painful experience.  A necessary destruction of the status quo.  Having to tell someone an unwelcome truth.  A new idea which upsets others.” and the “7 of Wands: Fighting the wind.  A Quixotic struggle.  Winning against the odds.  Confrontation.” visit.

Monday, November 17th saw “VI The Lovers: A relationship is always a mingling of differences.  A powerful relationship.  Seeing both sides of an issue.  Flexibility.” and the “4 of Cups: The Audition.  A new opportunity or choice presents itself.  Everything hangs in the balance.  Nervousness, excitement.” visit.

Tuesday, November 18th saw the “9 of Wands: Don’t mess with me.  Defensiveness.  Putting up barriers to avoid intimacy.” and “VIII Justice: Even today, gays can be the victims of “justice”.  An unfair judgment.  Being too judgemental or righteous.  Feeling restricted by others’ expectations.” visit.

And today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “9 of Coins: Rewards.  Enjoying the fruits of your labour.  Well-deserved enjoyment.” along with the “Guide of Wands: Feeling possessed by a creative project or inspiration.  Being inspired to help others.  Doing what’s right.”

These past several days have been filled with happiness, love, hope, opportunities and much more.  I’ve learned al lot about myself by being more involved in my job and more committed to and focused on my relationship and what it means to be sharing my life with someone else.

I’ve uncovered and revealed the truth about myself to myself and feel good about it.  Life is a gift and a joy to be experiencing and I appreciate all that I’ve experienced and gone through regardless of how I felt several days ago.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

Man of Cups and VIII Justice

Thursday, November 13th, 2014.  A quiet evening at home where a whole lot was not done.  I didn’t do a lot other than go to the gym and make a simple dinner.  Another fairly decent night of sleep and some mildly active dreams.  A quieter night of sleep, thankfully and the alarm is how I awoke.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Man of Cups: An emotional adventurer.  Tendency to want to emotionally rescue others.  Drawn to emotional crises.”  “VIII Justice: Even today, gays can be the victims of “justice”.  An unfair judgment.  Being too judgemental or righteous.  Feeling restricted by others’ expectations.”, is also visiting today.
I must keep my emotions in check and become a completely loving person where love and peace are states of being and fill every atom of my being.  I must be the very concept of “zen” inside and out.

Namaste.

Meditate. Become at peace with yourself through discovering and getting to know yourself.  Find a way to become whole and complete.  Be aware of your emotions and the emotions of others however be weary of allowing emotions free reign in your life.  Let your own expectations of yourself guide you and be open-minded and objective and do your best to never judge another.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

V The Priest and the 8 of Cups

Wednesday, November 12th, 2014.  We had a slow start to the day then headed out to our friends place for a lunch of waffles, bacon, and sausage.  We strolled along False Creek to the Main Street Skytrain Station where we hopped aboard a train and headed home.  I slept rather well then active dreams popped up as the alarm drew near.  I was likely in a semi-conscious state as I was aware but asleep at the same time, if this makes any sense at all.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “V The Priest: The best way to help others is to help them make their own decisions.  Wisdom.  Advice.  A ceremony or ritual.”  And along for a bit of clarification is the “8 of Cups: Farewell.  Moving on.  Leaving behind a person, a situation, or a part of yourself.”

I see these cards as a sign that if we help others even ourselves learn how to and that we can make decisions and good decisions at that we’ll learn how to move on and break free of things that may be holding us back.  We may be faced with a hard decision or two but we must learn that we have to stand up on our own two feet, make decisions on our own and know that we are strong enough to handle the outcome of such decisions knowing that we made them to the best of our abilities and the information at hand.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

XI Strength and the 9 of Wands

Tuesday, November 11, 2014.  Lest we forget.  Remembrance Day in Canada – may man discover peace in his heart so we can see and bring peace into the world.

We had a quiet evening at home.  Being at peace with ourselves and the lives we lead.  We appreciate and give value to and thanks for the simplicity of our lives.  We chase after nothing for everything we need comes from within and in being in harmony with Spirit and nature.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is “XI Strength: Directing your passions, rather than suppressing them, is the key.  Finding healthy outlets for powerful energies.” And as a reminder to vigilant, the “9 of Wands: Don’t mess with me.  Defensiveness.  Putting up barriers to avoid intimacy.”

As we discover and get to know ourselves we find our centres where peace and love dwell.  As we focus on the very core of our beings we work in harmony with Spirit and nature and become welcoming to the purity of energy that brings opportunities into our lives.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The Guide of Coins and the Continuing Visit of the 8 of Swords

Monday, November 10th, 2014.  Had a bout of insomnia last night and spent what likely was a couple of hours tossing and turning.  The alarm awoke me and although not ready to get out of bed I was able to do so and get on with the day.

Tomorrow is “Remembrance Day” here in Canada, a chance for us to remember those who fought for the freedoms we now enjoy.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Guide of Coins: Seeing the magic in the mundane.  Spiritual fulfillment from nature.  Finding joy in the ordinary.”  And this is accompanied by the continuing visit of the “8 of Swords: The Crowded Subway. Restriction.  Being trapped by your own biases and prejudices.  Feeling lonely in a crowd.”

I need to wrap myself up in nature’s blanket and allow the beauty and ordinariness of nature and life re-energize and reignite the joy and love that dwells within me.  I seldom if ever find the mundane to be boring.  Quite to the contrary, I love the mundane as it makes my spirit flourish and blossom in ways I find unbelievable and magical.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The 8 of Swords Accompanied by XVII The Star

Sunday, November 9th, 2014.  We ran a few errands yesterday before returning home.  Upon our return home we proceeded to change the window coverings for our patio door.  We had drapes and now have paper panels from IKEA.  They break up the dark heaviness of the remaining drapes in the living/dining area.

Then we had a relaxing evening of watching a bit of television, programs about nature before going to bed.  I slept rather well however, I again awoke early.  On the weekends though, I do enjoy my early mornings.  I keep the lights off and work by the dim light of the morning as dusk gives way to dawn and the flickering flame of the gas fireplace.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “8 of Swords: The Crowded Subway. Restriction.  Being trapped by your own biases and prejudices.  Feeling lonely in a crowd.”  And the “8 of Swords” is accompanied by “XVII The Star: Spirit is Real.  Hope. Serenity.  Clarity.  Having faith in an underlying or overlying spirit.  A dream becomes real.”

With faith and confidence I move ahead and find my own path.  Working in harmony with Spirit as well as wrapping myself up with the pure love of Spirit and in knowing that I have the love and support of those I hold close to my heart I walk on a solid footing and reach my goals surrounded by the surety of Spirit.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.

The Ace of Cups and 2 of Swords

November 8, 2014.  I’m learning more about the operations and customer service side of my new role in operations at the workplace.  My role became more defined this week which has allowed me to come to an understanding of my role in the company and how I can try to move forward in this position.  It requires a high degree of flexibility as well as strong shoulders in order to withstand some of the garbage that is likely to be thrown my way in the coming days and months.

We spent a quiet Friday evening at home as we most often do and had more chat time and a bit of TV time, watching our local mayoral debate on the local cable channel.  It was more energetic and lively than we were expecting.

I slept well and awoke early as I expected.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “Ace of Cups: A gift of love.  The beginning of a love affair, friendship, or partnership.”  And in a supporting role is the “2 of Swords: Meditation.  Closing your eyes to outer circumstances in order to gain perspective or to avoid a decision.  Refusing to act.”

Decisions have to made and some decisions are harder to make because of the enormous impact they have on our lives and sometimes more importantly in the lives of those we love and care about.  But decisions have to be made.  With the “Ace of Cups”, I see that any decision should be made with love in mind and this could also be an indicator that the decision could be influenced by, if this is the right word, a new person entering our lives.  Not that we want others to be making our decisions for us however this person may bring more clarity into our lives that will allow us to make a more informed decision.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
