October 15: Teresa of Avila is a mystic of the
sixteenth century. Today is her feast day. Theresia had intimate contact with
God. In what way do you and the Divine interact?

Since the original writer of these prompts is a
Catholic, we have another saint to flavor this prompt. Of course I have my own
perception of the Divine and that’s definitely not Catholic. The Sun card from the
Crystal Visions Tarot will emphasize that. Unlike other Sun cards where a naked
child is depicted, here we see a woman cradling an infant which is wrapped in
her robe. She is showing it the sunflowers so patiently, as if they were the
only two people in the world. The white horse of this sun child is waiting
nearby. They have nowhere to go yet. It is just the two of them being as one in
this everlasting moment.
And that
says it all. Communicating with the Divine is for me the feeling of being one
with everything around me and beyond. At the same time it is like feeling held
and loved and cared for and being very close to my Mother. I don’t have to ask
for anything because she knows what I need.
I am just grateful for and happy with everything she’s giving me. I think that’s
Love…
I think the Beatles had it right when they sang "All we need is love..." Not just love for others, but also ourselves. I think that is the spiritual thread that runs through everything and everyone; if we could just find it and hang on to it, we would see that connection. Lovely post.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Perhaps it's the Love thing that makes is lovely :)
DeleteBeautiful! I love this card. Sunflowers are my favorite, and this one with them sprinkled all over and a woman with her baby enjoying them makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteYes it is a sweet card. The whole deck has this lovely vibe :)
