Today’s
card: “Focus on the Light” is all
about how to stay tuned with Light, in whatever way we perceive it. The woman in this card is holding
the Light in her hands while she is also encircling it with her braid. She is determined to hold it close to her. Her face
is illuminated and like a sunflower she is following and bathing in this everlasting
Light. This way she will keep her heart and her intentions pure and clear. Light will disperse her fear to shine. It is
so easy to be captivated by the darker emotions like fear but it is our
birthright to stay in tune with Light and Love and to be happy en enjoy our
daily lives.
So how do
we stay focused on that Light? As always it is so simple to write it down and
so difficult to practice. In my opinion the most pure form of acknowledging
this Light is to practice gratitude for everything
we receive. I say everything because often the greatest challenges turn out to
be the most wonderful gifts. By giving thanks we are set out to find that Light
during the day and remember it when we light a candle in the evening and write
in our gratitude journal.
“Give light, and
the darkness will disappear of itself.”
Desiderius Erasmus
what a beautiful card. Light and light and more light to you and yours
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Sharyn! I will treasure each beam of it. :)
DeleteI like your picture of the card in the garden better than the card itself - lovely! I love this Leonard Cohen quote:
ReplyDelete“There is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in.”
Hoping you enjoy much sunshine today, on the inside and outside!
Ha Ha thank you Bev, I liked it how the leaves of the daffodils amplified the mandala in the cards.
DeleteI've been enjoying the sunshine together with our dog today. I hope you have had some time for yourself to day too.
Love the quote!!!
I enjoyed reading this. I think you have it right seeking the light of day, lighting a candle at night and doing a gratitude journal are perfect ways to put this in practice.
ReplyDeleteHi Naomi! Yes, often the most simple things can bring such joy. :)
DeleteI didn't make time for my gratitude practice yesterday, but I was grateful for the sleep I had instead :) I'm loving these cards, and your ruminations on them!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chloe! I enjoy working with them a lot. Even more than I initially expected.
