Every little bit...

I am drawing a Tarot card tonight, to tell me what energies are flowing today...

Gypsies and Eastern Europeans believed that telling fortunes on Sunday was bad luck, but I don't count this as Sunday yet until the Sun comes up...

Here goes...

I have drawn Queen of Rods. The description is as follows, "A beautiful, strong ruler, with wisdom and happiness upon her face. She wears a crown and headdress of gold and purple, the colors of royalty. A sliver of the crescent moon hangs in the starry night sky . She, like the king, holds her royal scepter, which is in full flower. Meaning--A friendly dark woman, chaste, loving, honorable. Love of money, success in business." There is a reverse meaning, too, if the card is pulled and is viewed upside-down: "Opposition, jealousy, deceit, and infidelity"...but I have pulled the card upright, so today I will pay attention to the message of this card in a subtle way and see where it's meaning flowers.

Here is another simple, great phrase of wisdom, " Love isn't a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like struggle. To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is right here and now." Who is this quote from?

Guess...

Give up? It is from a great little book called "The Word According To Mister Rogers, Important Things To Remember" by Fred Rogers. Cool, eh? I love that quote.

I love to draw from many sources, the world is not one thing, or one way of doing or being, it is many, and we are all of them, always. We must remember this, or else be lost in the minute details and back-alleys of our lives. The ultimate, extreme result of this is madness, insanity.

Losing your way is not getting lost, it is losing the sense that you might remember how to play and getting too wrapped up in your personality and ego. Getting lost, it is what people say when they want you to leave their presence, right? But getting lost
is the only way to find your Self, every little bit, the Hero's journey is not outward but within, and the Maze is not the outward confusion of space, but the inward quest, not toward perfection, but towards self-realization. So, many wells draw many waters, sweet, bitter, dark, light, and murky, but they are all the same substance, as we are all the same substance, human Being, human Spirit.

A great movie that gives expression to this was that movie "21 Grams". Watch it. See if I am not right.  The heart is a metaphor for the movie's theme, think on this as you watch, the Heart and the heart, Spiritual tool and physical organ. That phrase "The Human Heart" is the coalescing of the metaphor. Also, look at a set of Tarot cards, or just plain Playing cards while watching this movie, or do it before or after. Just look through them, don't put any expectations on what you'll find or see, just Look, turn, and See what is there before you and in your hand...you will really be suprised..."21 grams", "how much does 21 grams weigh?"

Amazing things happen every day, like now, like today.

Look. See. Be Amazed at Simplicity, be quietly astounded by a piece of music, a picture, your hand, or the eyes of your eyes with a dream you have awakened from...Now is all there is, so have fun and bless this moment with everything you've got!
