Today’s card
is the Two of Earth (Pentacles) from the Gaian Tarot. We see a mother holding two children in her arms, while deciding which vegetables
she wants to buy. One of her children is crying and needs soothing and the other
one doesn’t look that cheerful either, but for now he only needs a cuddle.
Life can be
like this sometimes or maybe more often than not. These days we are all expected (by others but also by ourselves) to manage our chaotic circumstances and to multitask
our way through the day. When I saw this card I immediately was reminded by my trips
to the market with S, who was still a toddler then. It didn’t take me long to realize
that if my husband would look after her while I was doing the shopping, everything would go much more smoothly.
There is no
shame in asking for help. Our loved ones don’t always notice when we need their
help, so it is up to us to speak up and communicate our needs instead of grumbling
and complaining while doing everything ourselves.
It seems this mother
manages quite well, but I am sure she would like to come home where her both kids were
playing in the garden and coffee was
brewing...
