This card
is all about naivete and innocence; about seeing the world through the eyes of child
with wonder and amazement, as if today is the first day of our life. So the question
that came to mind was: What do I need to be open, carefree and content about? What do
I need to experience today as if it was the first time?
And I
pulled from the Celtic Lenormand: fox, ring and tree.
The ring stands
for commitments and relationships. The Tree card tells me this is not about casual relationships
but more about long standing family ties, deep rooted but often with gnarls,
cracks and broken branches. And then like in all families often the fox comes around
to emphasize the nasty little irritations we all have gathered over the years.
Some
even have turned into festering wounds of unmet desires and expectations. Often
this says more about us than about them, so how do we shut up this deceiving inner
voice who seeks out the tiny cracks and flaws in our commitments? I think if we
were to look at our loved ones like we did the day we realized we loved them, everything
else would be trifling and meaningless…
So this morning
I have visited my husband and we had a very pleasant get together indeed. I will also try to keep this message in mind when I address M and my mother today. I suspect it will make all the difference.
if we were to look at our loved ones like we did the day we realized we loved them...brilliant
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharyn!
DeleteThis was a truly INSIGHTFUL Lenormand reading; this is some wisdom I need to take to heart myself!
ReplyDeleteThank you Bev! And we all do my friend, we all do!
DeleteI love the artwork in the deck of Celtic Lenormand. It gives you/us a lot to think of. Thanks for sharing. I believe a new deck is in order. I love your interpretation of the tree. Old wounds healed but still a part of us.
ReplyDeleteIt´s the best lenormand deck I have. The art work is stunning and it reads beautifully! I can really recommend it to you :)
DeleteI so agree with Sharyn and Bev: words to live by! Seeing our nearest and dearest with eyes of love can make all the difference to how we respond to them. For me, that's not quite the same as when I first loved them: my boys are growing up so fast, and I need to find that love of who they are now, not just who they were... A great interpretation of the Fox as our own inner voice deceiving us, pointing up the bad bits so we forget the good. And it reminds me of my gratitude practice, which came up in my own reading today - such a powerful way to keep seeing the good in new and fresh ways :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had a good time with your husband, and good luck keep those "soft eyes" with M and your mother, too!
I love your expression soft eyes. Yes, love does change over time but the softness in our eyes will remain :)
DeleteHugs
So much wisdom here, and meaningful for me also. I loved your interpretation of the Fox - I'm going to make note of this, as it makes so much sense to me ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol! Sometimes the cards do make a lot of sens but sometimes (like this morning) they talk gibberish :D
