Just before I went to visit my mother, I pulled
for myself the Six of Cups from the Goddess Tarot. Although this deck has a lot
of Rider Waite based imagery, this card seems to lack the two children where one child
offers the other one flowers. Here we see a house in the distance and six cups,
neatly arranged and filled with soft purple flowers. It is a card of memories:
Of reminiscing about a time when everything was fine and life was simple: Of remembering
our childhood. Whenever I am with my mother I feel often like a child again. In
her own way she still takes care of me, simple because she cares for me unconditionally.
And that feels safe and it gives me a chance to completely relax. I didn't know I needed this so much until I
got there. I loved listening to her stories and even now after so many years
some of them where still new to me. This card radiates peace and quiet. Everything has it’s place and
time there, just like with my mother. Her house is clean and organized in contrary
to mine especially with our puppy running around messing with his toys and stuff.
So when I came home I felt a bit overwhelmed and I had some difficulty to adjust
to our everyday life. Even the idea of
starting to blog again wasn't appealing. It felt more like a chore than something
I love to do so much. So I started to leave some comments here and there and
that felt good. I know eventually I will adapt and fit in again. Today is
already so much easier than yesterday and gradually I am getting used to our own way of living which I do love a lot J

but grown? In a mother’s heart you will always be her baby.”
