Today’s Card is Daughter of Air from the Vision Quest Tarot. In her hand, she is holding a feather. This feather is linking to her inner free flying eagle, who rises above her daily sometimes trivial problems to get a better view of the big picture and who will guide her into the right direction.
This card is all about self-liberation. To get out of our rut and turn into the freedom loving human being we are supposed to be. Staying where we are may seem the most secure and comforting thing to do but when we remind ourselves of our inner strength and innate power it isn’t strange we long for more. Remember we aren’t newly hatched chicks anymore; we are full grown eagles ready to be bold and soar.
"There is an eagle in me that wants to soar, and there is a hippopotamus in me that wants to wallow in the mud. Carl Sandburg
That Sandburg quote is hilarious! Soaring for me means I must question many of the thoughts and beliefs I've accepted as true (that are simply assumptions or opinions). They are the weight that keeps me in that mud-hole!
ReplyDeleteYes it is, isn't it! It is strange that something as fleeting as our thoughts can weigh us down so heavily.
DeleteI like the Carl Sandburg quote. My thoughts get twisted up sometimes and then I don't soar I wallow.
ReplyDeleteThe more we soar, even if we don't know why or where we are going the more easy it will become.
DeleteI'd love to be a hippo for a day, swimming with the hippos for a day.
ReplyDeleteJust did a little research and hippos can't swim or float! They bob up and down.
Anyway, nice post!
Thanks Sharyn! Bobbing up and down sounds great too ☺
