Today’s
card is the Two of Stones (Pentacles) from the Chrysalis Tarot. We see a bear considering
if he is able to move to the next rock. The situation looks dangerous but the
bear, just awake from his winter sleep, feels the need to search for food. The
ice in the river is melting and spring is waiting just around the corner. We see
the bear scouting the area, thinking: “Is it safe? Am I strong enough to make
the leap? After being in hibernation that long we can assume he might be a bit uncertain
and wobbly on his feet. It is crucial he remains firmly grounded and surefooted
before he makes any attempt. And above all he has to trust himself. When you
feel insecure you are likely to make mistakes or freeze and do nothing
So often we
balance between opposing energies. Not knowing which way to go. Only after we've first
turned inward to find our strength and confidence
we can trust ourselves to make the right decision
Today I promise
myself to breath before I jump!
I was out later than usual last night, so if this bear just woke up from hibernation, I could relate to him. :) Other than feed the cats, I have to go directly to the kitchen in search of a granola bar, orange juice and coffee when I wake up. Then I feel more human! I would tell this bear to make sure he's rested and fueled before he trusts himself to the challenge.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is my main fuel throughout the day and it is the first thing I make myself before doing anything else. Luckily I can make it and drink it without thinking :D
DeleteOne of my favorite things about your posts is the way you paint the story behind the card image. Happy Saturday! :)
