Today’s
card is Child of Earth from the Gaian Tarot. The child is holding an apple in his
hand. He is looking at it, he is smelling it, it is making his mouth water. Almost all his senses but one, are satisfied. “Taste me”, the apple seems to insist.
“Take a bite. You know you want it”
The apple
has always been an alluring fruit. Perhaps because it holds the mystery of the
universe in its core.
Since the
child is curious and eager to experience something new, we can almost be certain he will
take that bite in the end. With this attitude he will remain open and flexible towards
his environment. He will learn new things and will be able to adjust his opinion
about the things he thought he knew for sure.
Questions:
What can I
learn today? How can I shift my attitude from narrowness to openness. How can I
stay young and playful at heart?
It doesn’t
have to be complicated like learning a new language. No, it can be as simple as
taking an other route for your walk, buying a different loaf of bread or even wearing
something other than what you always wear.
I am curious
what you would do to take a childlike approach
today…..
"Taking another route for your walk". Ha. I used to do that when I was little and walked (or biked) around the neighborhood. There were some deviations that could be made. It felt fresh and new even though it was, for the most part, the same roads.
ReplyDeleteAs long as our inner child is happy we are happy:)
DeleteStay curious about everything would be my suggestion. Even when taking a walk along a regular route, I can go slowly enough to notice what is different, how the season is showing itself, and what is new I haven't seen before. :)
ReplyDeleteYes staying curious is a lifesaver! And there is so much to discover when we slow down and look around. :)
DeleteI love that Page of Pentacles rendition. I keep thinking for fun I will go get a bottle of bubble soap and blow some bubbles today. Sending thoughtful wishes out to foreverland.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how young you must look when you blow your bubbles. Great!!
DeleteWhy not? Perhaps I'll slice my one remaining Gala apple across it's middle rather than from stem to stern? Did you know there is a perfect star there if the fruit is ready for picking?
ReplyDeleteI still can remember the day when I discovered that star!
