And yet, if you could put in place a routine for creativity, I wonder if it might help to loosen up those floodgates of your creativity. So you don't have to prise them open every time, but have a structure to help with that, like a winch... <br />Not sure what that would look like for you. For me, I know that every evening I will sew something after the kids are in bed. If it isn't a question (shall I sew something?), but a rule, then I always do something, and always enjoy it. Works for me, anyway ;)<br />In any case, I'm delighted that the Nine of Pentacles got you in contact with how lovely it could be to connect with your creativity. And that sunflower is beautiful - had to come and read this after seeing the picture on IG :DInner Whispershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04577110987784585986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158245992923239671.post-47316982457829581582016-08-14T11:07:51.235+02:002016-08-14T11:07:51.235+02:00Thanks Olivia!

When I see the Emperor, I think of discipline (which doesn't feel very warm and fuzzy). But I was reading something the other day which said that 'discipline' comes from the same root as 'disciple,' and that there is an underlying devotion in both.
