I have a dear friend who gets down in the spring, because everything is blossoming around her and it makes her feel old.<br /><br />I'm loving the autumn, with the crisp, clear mornings and the warm, slightly faded feel of the sun. I need a jumper, because of the cold, but I don't mind. That Ace of Swords reminds me of that - reaching for the clarity of the dawn, but beware of the bite of the cold :DInner Whispershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04577110987784585986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158245992923239671.post-66407349002150995102016-10-04T13:26:08.367+02:002016-10-04T13:26:08.367+02:00What a lovely and wise remark of your stepdad!

When I was a teenager and hated doing the dishes after dinner, my stepdad posted a note over the sink that read, "Washing the dishes is like bathing the baby Buddha." Point being that if we come to understand every seemingly mundane chore as an expression of the sacred, it is no longer boring. I did indeed come to enjoy dishwashing as a time for quiet reflection (and it the cold north I enjoyed it because it felt good to immerse my hands in warm water!!). :-)Olivia Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13787218597949074958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158245992923239671.post-65647689089120304492016-09-30T15:00:51.747+02:002016-09-30T15:00:51.747+02:00yes when we focus on something entirely else it id...yes when we focus on something entirely else it ideas almost seems to flow effortlessly into our mindEllenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617686222764658629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158245992923239671.post-80574164547446859682016-09-30T14:59:23.276+02:002016-09-30T14:59:23.276+02:00Thanks Carolyn!

The Ace of Swords helps me clean my thoughts. When we accomplish one thing it usually gives us the incentive to tackle more; with one thing leading to another. Like that Eight of Coins building on and doing more with proficiency.
