Changed scenery

Well looky here.  The walls have come down.  I love the cards and the scenes that can unfold, thus telling me a story.  Now that  the wall is out of the way, what to do? What to do?  Do I do some reading on mythical lochness monsters?  Do I take a break and get out of the wind? Go for a swim, climb a mountain, go investigate that red flow? Choice is the word of the day.

I don't often draw the Seven of Cups.  All about choices, mythical or logical. Making up my mind about what is next.  That wall that I have been beating my head against is my career in real estate sales.  I should have left it at the side of the highway in 2012.  My options after the trauma were very limited.  With injuries and my age not many if any employers would hire me.  Maybe I should have taken SS disability, I was qualified.  shoulda-coulda-woulda.  Returning to sales was the best choice I could think of.  I needed to work to pay off some of the expenses of trauma, recovery, and not working for a year and half.  Tuesday July 5th, marked 6 months till my 60th birthday and standing in front of that wailing wall reminded me I just can't do this work for my remaining days.  Maybe the real choice is the leap of faith.

Walls

Yesterday's draw had me at the Wailing Wall.  It is a wall that I have hit my head on many times.  Today's card of Judgement has me again encountering walls, depicted are the Walls of Jericho. Ancient scripts and Biblical accounts have this wall totally collapsing after the wandering Isarelites marched around the walled city of Jericho and on the the seven day, either shouted or clapped and the walls fell. A account of God's will or vibrational harmonics or maybe a parable.

Anyway what do I do with the walls in my life?  Hitting my head on the wall doesn't work.  Maybe a wrecking ball that was suggested is a good alternative.  I am sure there are other choices.  A draw of Judgement sometimes can mean hearing the call or answering the call.  Then maybe today I will receive a message and that will give me the piece of the puzzle I need.

Aspirin please

How many times have I hit my head on this wall?  You can go this far, no further.  Self imposed limits. 

Today's affirmation from my desk top calendar printed by Hay House.
"Today is the beginning of a positive turning  point for me."
Instead of banging my head against the proverbial wall I have been reading on alternative possibilities for my life.
Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results...

Wing and a prayer

Nazca Lines in Peru, are drawings on the Earth's surface that are enormous and can only be visualized from above.

I have remembered times of astral travel.  Free and flying.  I have also watched hawks fly and then try to embrace their flights so I can see the world from their perspective.  I wonder if they are overwhelmed by all the sights and sounds as they take wing?  I can't do heights anymore, even driving up steep hills sends a rush of adrenaline through my system.  There is a remembrance of falling from the tornado and slamming back to the earth, I am sure it will remain with me throughout my days.
One of my biggest fears is I will take this trauma in to my next life and not be able to fully embrace the wonder of the world.

I went to the library the other day and started reading a book last night by Denis Linn.  It was published in 1995 and titled, SACRED SPACE, so this morning reaching for a deck to work this week, the obvious choice was the SACRED SITES TAROT.  This ten of pentacles focus is on the City of Cibola, the myth of the seven cities of gold, precious stones, and esoteric knowledge. 

This appears to be the queen of pentacles out about and I can tell she does not want to climb those stairs.  In fact I think I heard her say "I am the Queen, and I don't have to do stairs."
We can search the world over to find the treasures that we lament that should be ours, be even then we won't be satisfied.  The sacred space or scared site is really within us.  The rest is fluff.
So today I am going to hang out in my sacred space and forget the stairs, the work, the endless pursuit of more and just relax and read my book

Snap

The booklet with The Goddess Tarot gives keywords to bring a depth of understanding to the meaning of each card.  The seven of staves keywords are:  defense, combat, and struggle.  This gal doesn't look like she got up and got dressed for conflict.  That's the way of it some days.  We get up, the Sun is shining, and it looks to be a good day.  Sometimes that not how the day goes.
 

I don't think there is a serious issue here, just the everyday trials and tribulations that each day can bring.  A half of dozen issues can show up unexpected and you just have to put your boots on and deal with them.  When I see this 7 it makes me wonder why the conflict when we just had all that celebration of success in the 6 preceding it.  It might come from others in a bit of snit over another's success.
Maybe that is why sometimes we need to 'speak softly and carry a big stick.'

It is the beginning of the Holiday weekend.  Maybe I will go buy some of those pop caps and if anybody tries my patience I will just snap a pop at them.  Ha
