Dispersion – Dust in the wind

Tao Oracle
Another card which reminded me of a song of long ago. It is a card from The Tao Oracle form Ma Deva Padma. The card is called Dispersion. The keywords in the caption are: Diffuse negativity, restore harmony, circulate, revitalize, dissolve divisions, lighten up.
I couldn’t have drawn a better card for today. After a tedious tiring morning, I decided to go outside and ride my bike. The wind was blowing through my hair. It was sunny and it felt like spring. A lot of bulb flowers were blooming already. It was as if the windy warm weather was my dispersion and was making me feel so much more awake and alive. Every irritation and worry from this morning was blown away as dust in the wind and it was wonderful!
The song that came to mind was an old one: "Dust in the wind." This song has even a violin solo and so it is as if the man in the card is playing it. Any way I feel  a lot better and I hope you’ll like the song as much as I do.


Kansas - Dust In The Wind

I close my eyes
Only for a moment, then the moment’s gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

Now, don't hang on
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

Dust in the wind
all we are is dust in the wind
(dust in the wind)

all we are is dust in the wind

  1. Oh wow, now that is a song that brings back some memories - I used to love Kansas (and Boston and Journey...). Glad you had a bike ride that was refreshing; it amazes me how just moving can sometimes shake out the fuzzies.

    1. Indeed is it was! Here in the Netherlands almost everybody has a bicycle. We have a very flat country so it is ideal for cycling :)
      I hope the weather will improve soon for you too :)

    2. You know, when I was seven years old my family visited the Netherlands, and now that you mention it, I do remember seeing lots of people riding bikes. I even have a vague memory of a woman, wearing a traditional Dutch costume riding a bicycle.
