This card is about breaking through self imposed barriers. The guidebook advises 'don't let fear or even reason prevent you from over coming barriers'. My thoughts went to a situation in my work life from which I've withdrawn so much I'm almost in Narnia. I will need to (and friends have urged me to) reassert my right to go to work and get on with work peacefully. Yet I don't relish the reaction that is likely to provoke. Over the past couple of days I have been preoccupied with creating a more harmonious home especially through the use of water. Wondering if this is a distraction or diversion I sought clarity in the Druid Craft (my go to deck when I want immediate guidance). I drew the Queen of Cups which speaks to me of healing and nurturing indicating that creating a serene space is necessary not just nice. Truly accepting that might be my barrier...
Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.

Water will teach us to become more fluid, to adapt to the situation and bring about change very slowly. It teaches us to go with the flow of life, to find the most easy way to travel.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will be able to create peace in your home and also in your heart, so you will be able to take with you wherever you go
Gentle hugs
Oh thank you and for sharing your thoughts on what water teaches. It has been a watery day in my therapists room but productive as I'm going to book a restorative trip to the coast. :)
DeleteCreating a refuge in the home that is serene and healing sounds wise and compassionate. Especially if you work in a stressful environment, such a place to recharge is so important. And any peace and clarity found there can be taken back with you when you return to work.
ReplyDeleteI think you're right - it has taken me such a long time to learn this. Really affirming to hear it is important. Thank you!
DeleteWhen I worked out a overview of my past with the Tibetan Oracle I found water was nil in my life. How could I miss that??
ReplyDeleteI gifted the set to Carolyn, I've forgotten to ask her how her's came out.
Anyway...best wishes on forward movement.
That sounds interesting did the oracle advise on what to do about it?
DeleteI can't begin to tell you how many times I have knocked and pushed on the back of closet walls to see if a passage to Narnia would open. No luck so far. Usually all that happens is I knock clothes off of the hangers, resulting in more work for myself. Fill your cup with the enchanting beams of moonlight, soothing to our souls.
ReplyDelete:D my closet won't let me anywhere near...time to read the book again and see if there's another way...
ReplyDeleteI saw the cup and the moon but not the moonbeans between. Something to think on thank you :)
