Spooky Old Things

On a New Year’s Day, and on a birthday evening, I usually pick some ‘Intuitive Solutions’ cards, asking the question; ‘What would be good for me to remember for this coming year?’ 

Last Friday, I was surprised at my kitchen window by the sight of a full and beautifully creamy-yellow moon.  So beautiful, I went outside for a better view.  It was almost midnight, silent and calm, the breeze from earlier in the day, tucked up under a briar rose somewhere.  It was still twilight to my left, to the north, and dark velvet blue to the south.  As I stepped right out of the front door, I was startled by a pipistrelle bat flickering silently overhead.  It swithered up, around the holly tree, before it disappeared.  I wonder where.  In suitably wistful mood, I came back inside and picked some cards for this coming year.

Insight: ‘You do what you say you’re going to do’ [Yoga daily practice, finishing the cloud painting, oh they are spooky old things these cards]*

Setback: ‘It’s always me who has to do it and nobody cares, nobody notices and nobody ever helps me!’ [Don’t waste precious time by choosing self-pity.]

Insight: ‘Your personality is radiant with LOVE in the present situation.  Recall a time when you experienced love.’ [Vision of the rain falling on our recumbent faces in the walled garden yoga on Saturday, rainy-scent of plants and trees.  Us all smiling and laughing packing up our yoga mats.] 

Big love of Life. 

Yes. 

More of this please.

Angel: ‘Willingness’.  “Approach life with an open mind and a how-can-we-make-it-work attitude. Use your will skilfully to enhance the creative process rather than inhibit it.”

I picked a single card from a different, beautiful deck:

‘Journalling’.

Stopped at that, was starting to freak myself out.
