Sometimes a lion is a lion

Don't really know what Strength has to say to me today, or advice that might be needed?  Tame the beast? Control my temper? Endure?
I think I will go watch the movie Lion King this afternoon.  Finish my office work and make my calls, conquer that and then go enjoy the show.

Against all comers

"Well I am older now, but still runnin' against the wind" Against the Wind, Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band

That's what I heard with the draw of this Seven of Wands.  There have been lots of things I have let go of as I move deeper into my life days, and some things I cling to.  I work with those that have a need to be right and I find that they are a mirror to me.  The difference of course is that I am right.  Ha! Well it is starting to wear, they want to be right, the one on top of hill, I think I will just humor myself and let go of the post I have taken up for years.  You wanna be right, 'sure, fine, go ahead.'
oops, did you hear it "fine" - be careful when you hear a woman say "fine"

Bargaining

I tried to strike a bargain with the Universe the other day.  This for That.  Can you bargain with the Universe?  Is there a Divine Cosmic Order? Is the Universe that Order? If so, can I bargain with something, someone that prodigious?  On the other hand, am I not part of that cosmic immensity?  Then it comes down to me bargaining with myself.
At first glance I was unsure of this High Priestess. Why does she not look me straight in the eye? Her suggestion to me is to quiet the noise and listen within.
Just now my tinnitus quieted briefly.  Stop with the external noise, quiet things down, and listen to me.  Since that is who I am really bargaining with.

Insomnia

There are different things that keep me awake at night.
Worries, concerns, replaying conversations, long nap earlier in the day, stress, pizza, caffeine, inactivity.
Why the fox is worried about being awake at night, a mystery.  Which too can keep one awake.

This or That

I wonder what Alice's life would have looked like had she not stepped or fallen through the looking glass?  Choices. To do or not to do?  Did she stop and give any thought or jumped with both feet? Defining moments, I will look for one today.

In front of the other

One foot in front of the other, and soon you'll be walking out the door.  That is pretty simple.  Don't know where to go, do, be?  Simple really, just put one foot in front of the other and things will clarify along the way.   Sure may take a step off the cliff but you can develop a pair of Hermes' wings on the way down.
My inaction of late needs to change, at the very least I will have to get a dust cloth out and dust myself off.

Promises made

Isn't that the promise of the rainbow? The Sun will come out the clouds and storms will pass?  The Ten of Cups is a reminder of that promise.  Hang in there, things change, the difficult times pass, and Life will be sunny again. 
I always remind myself, give Time, time.
