One step in front of other

A Fool's journey indeed.  One step in front of the other.  Some adventures are joyful and fun and some we misstep and go right over the edge.  This Fairy gal wore the wrong shoes, surely not anticipating all those stair-steps ahead.  Later, she is going to say to herself, 'what was I thinking'
Sometimes we get started on a project or destination and don't think it through.  Still, too much fore-thought might just take the fun out of it.

Investment

How vested in a project or commitment are we?  When all is finished is not a good time to find out.  My Father always taught us (sometimes the hard way) that if you were going to do something do it right.  I find I still hear that admonition playing in my head.  Even when not doing something I enjoy I still have to do my best.  There are things I would like to just walk away from, but no; started it must be finished, and finished, it must be done right.   I wonder now if that is one of the reason I just don't get started on things. Why bother?  Lately I find I am sitting in the gallery more often than not.

Directional

Cars in dreams can be a directional indication of how we may be traveling through our lives.  What direction, color, if you are behind the wheel, out of control, too fast, too slow...  The Chariot, is also a directional indication.  When The Chariot stops by I know that I need to take a moment and see how I am moving through my days.  Decks have different interpretations of Chariots, so like dreams, I look to see colors of the Chariot, directions, actions, who is in control.  In the Rider-Waite the Chariot is partially in the water, so I sometimes check in with where my emotions may be taking me.  This Chariot is much more whimsical with dragonflies pulling me along.  They are both smiling and enjoying themselves so I am going to go with a bit of "flight of  fancy" today is the right direction to go.

There are those

Not everyone dislikes the cold and Winter's endowments.  Ha.  I think I can remember my childlike wonder of winter's offering of snow, and days off of school.  Snowmen, snowballs,  sliding along our ways.  I guess it is mostly a mindset.  This Prince of Winter or Page of Swords, thinks of solutions to offset the winter blues and the frosty nip of freezing temps.  If I ever do decide to move South, I won't experience these winter days of the Midwest any longer.  So I am going to do my best to enjoy the upcoming season.
Whew Wee!

Second look

With yesterday's rain the weather has begun to shift.  Winter is just around the bend.  This representation of the Three of Wands really doesn't bear much resemblance to the typical Three of Wands.  With the trees bare of leaves and titled Three of Spring, it brings to mind that success begins with planning.  Winter is not my best time of year; Spring is the reward for making it through the Winter.  So maybe there is some similarity to the cards.  Waiting and planning and expectations of those plans to come to fruition.




The Fairy Tarot ~ Doreen Virtue & Radleigh Valentine


I wonder if Doreen Virtue has found peace in her search beyond The Tarot?

Unexpected gift

Succulent cherries in such a dry environment?  Not something normally found.  That's the thing about unexpected gifts, most always a delightful surprise; sometimes not, but mostly. 
It is raining this morning and will be all day long, an end to the drought in our area.  The air quality here in the Ohio Valley has been miserable, so a good rinse is a gift of the rain.  Promises for the Spring plantings, so a balance in the earth will be returned.  My car gets a good rinsing as well.  I will take the lovely gift of The Ace of Wands on this sweet Saturday.  Bright Blessings.

Stunning

Years ago on a return trip from out west, driving through Kansas, the highway was surrounded by one of them most stunning sights I have been privileged to view.  Sunflowers. Everywhere. The exhaustion and irritability immediately dissipated in the car.  We were overwhelmed with the explosion of yellow and black.  Sunflowers seem to automatically lift the Soul into the Light.
I have thought a couple of times of taking a road trip back out through the roads of Kansas, and treating myself once more to one of the most beautiful earthly displays there is.
