Today’s card is The Dreamer Prince – Gift of Liberty from the Tarot of the Sidhe by
Emily Carding. We see a Sidhe prince with his hands over his ears and from his
head a flock of birds is taking flight. When I think of the twittering of the birds
in my garden, this flock of birds could be deafening for our Prince. So many idea’s,
so many thoughts are sprouting from his ever busy mind. He always has inspiration
enough. His well of ideas never runs dry.
But it is very difficult for him to stop
his train of thoughts and to focus on one subject or idea and to elaborate on it,
let alone do something with all his bright ideas.
Often I
feel overwhelmed by my own stream of consciousness. I have all these thoughts
about what I want to do and most of them
never gets done or when I am starting vigorously with something new, I am losing
interest along the way too soon and so I have a pile of unfinished projects stacked away for more productive times.....
Since I am getting
older, I also seem to leak my greatest ideas without being aware I’ve lost something
precious. So now I am always, wherever I go, carrying a notebook with me to jot
down the things I want to remember. I also like to make lists and mind maps to keep
my thought process a bit within limits.
“He dreams of more than any could know,
But they are seeds he cannot sow,
His winged thoughts fly upon the air,
Never to land within a prayer…”

Just before
posting this I was thinking how much he resembles me when I try to meditate...
