Pony Up

Get there if you can.

I am absolutely sure there are faster modes of travel than a Giant Panda, but what fun.  Okay it is only a bit of whimsy, if one was ever caught riding one, every animal rights group would cry out in righteous indignation, besides that fact that I don't think the Panda would allow it.  The Eight of Fire(Wands) is about movement or a message arriving.  Maybe travel.  For today I will look for a message from some unusual delivery mode.
Do you see what I see?
Do you hear what I hear?

Misrepresentation

What is going on here?

I drew the Four of Cups again this morning, so I guess she had more to say to me.  I replaced the card back in the deck and reshuffled and searched for her and her companion card to clarify.  From discontent to craftiness; I can see it. Sometimes to dig us out of place of dissatisfaction we may resort to trickery to make us feel better.  This Seven of Air(Swords) is too soft to convey the sense of underhandedness.  Still the angel is wearing a mask, so we really don't who she is and what she is up to.  Maybe she is appearing demure to catch a goose for dinner?
I noticed that Baron-Reid places masks on a fair share of cards in this deck. A lot us wear different masks when we are out in the day to day mix of things.
For today I need to keep my head up and be aware of some possible misrepresentation on another's part.

No Thanks

No, I am not interested.

In the last couple of weeks I have mentioned to others that have been going through some hardships, that sometimes it is just your turn. Stuff happens. It floats along and lands on you and until it moves along and sticks to another, you endure.  They want someone to take their misery and dissatisfaction so they can feel better, pffft.  "Keep it I say"
Their are those that relish in their misery, others that shake it off quickly, and their are those that want you to take care of it for them or join them in their pity party.  I have taken part in each of the above scenarios, and thankfully now I just shake it off as soon as possible and move on.  If someone comes along today and wants to share their story I will listen and not be drawn in.

Tempting

Why ask why?

It appears that this fallen angel chose earthly goodies over the etheral life.  She doesn't appear to be wicked or rebellious, just curious about a different lifestyle.  Does that make it wrong?   I think we get many choices in many lives to figure it all out.  Which makes me think of the saying "the devil is in the details."  Life is what we make of it, whether there is one or many.  Doesn't make us wicked when we are different.
Chocolate is my Temptation.
These days of winter make me tempted to pack it all in and move South.

Take a second look

Queen of Shells (Cups)

Lovely queen.  Since I am not at the seashore I wonder if I will meet her disguised in human form today.  A selkie, come to tell me her secrets.  She would tell me to trust my feelings and listen to my intuition.  'When the time is right, I will know.'

Crane

Birds of a feather, stick together

It is true, we are more comfortable when we are with those that are similar to ourselves.  The typical Four of Cups portrays someone under a tree taking a break from the world around her.  She works in a world where everyone is at odds with her, so challenging and exhausting. That is one of the reasons I retreat to the sea for a recharge.  All those clients and agents, working from their own agenda is challenging and exhausting. Hopefully Crane will bring me wisdom and insight today.

Move along

Starfish and sea shells, jewels of the sea.

It saddens me when I go to the seashore and see people scoop up the starfish and sand dollars for prizes to take home.  They are living beings that will be no more, once taken from the sea.  I used to collect shells at the shore always checking that it did not have an inhabitant.  Now I don't, mostly because there are not many to collect.  Either too many have been taken from the shore or sea or the waster is so toxic that they no longer flourish.
With the Eight of Cups we journey on; hopefully by choice.
