Today’s
card is Temperance from the Tarot of the Hidden Realm. In this picture we see a
young Fae woman pouring water from one cup into another and she is completely focused
on her task. She is also very conscious of her body and her surroundings and
her movements are as light and elegant as the dragonflies near her head.
It seems so
easy when you look at this picture but the ease comes from lots of experience and practice.
From being able to travel from her head to her heart and back again in a split second.
Always checking in with herself has become totally natural for her. It allows
her to blend her thoughts and feelings
into a perfect mixture called living.
Finding this
balance isn’t so hard for me but keeping it is much more challenging. I
tend to forget consulting my heart when everything goes smoothly and I am in
control. But when feelings come knocking unexpectedly, my structured life falls
apart rather quickly and I have to pick up the pieces once again. I wonder why
this happens over and over again. I mean, I am not daft, I get the message, but
I don’t seem to be able to remember it when all is well again.
So for
today I will travel this short distance regularly even though it might feel like a
very long journey.
