Us and Them. Tarot Says No

Imagine . ~ . playing Red Rover Red Rover . . .

Patriotism. Fundamentalism.

Are you a patriot?  Are you a fundamentalist?  Roll with it.

Isn’t being a patriot always Us?  Isn’t being a fundamentalist always Them?  Who are We and They anyway?  Oscar Wilde called patriotism the virtue of the vicious.  Mark Twain indicated patriotism to be in support of country always. In support of government only when it deserves it.  Who responds to the Facebook posts indicating something is always this or always that?  That things should be more this or that?  Like the posts with . . . intuition vs  intellect.  The initial rotten bait of a post is often seen afterwards and too late for its “I am The Emperor, and these are the rules I can’t tell you yet I think you should follow.  By the way please confess some guilt in your response.  I could certainly use with berating whatever it is that you say.”  I call this the Hullaballoo Post.  I would love to grant it Ivory Tower status, but the world’s too greem and ivory is waaayyyy out of fashion. LOL

So, What If You Keep Your Wits . . .

and talk back with humor right out of the starting gate?  Talk back.  Humor may turn these daily dramas into lively discussions, or be dynamite on oilfield fires.  Talk back.  Respond.  Yet, respond from your 3rd option, the one beyond proving yourself.  Really speak from your own expertise whatever it may be.  Without overextending, how do you dance with an idea?  Here’s a thought:

The Star, The 5 of Wands, The Sun

  • The Star ~ eternal hope, celestial grooves, dreams?
  • The 5 of Wands ~ seeing the asset that your competition is missing?
  • The Sun ~ identity beyond reproof?

Putting these 3 Tarot cards together in a Turbo Reading way — Turbo Reading being composing a single phrase from ALL of your cards in a reading AS a reading.  Putting these 3 Tarot cards together in a Turbo Reading, try this one iteration of these cards on for size:

Have Some Fun . . .

Talk back.  What is one way that you can read these 3 cards together?  With humor, talk back.

Talking back.  It’s not just for kids anymore.

Talking Back. Not Just For Kids Anymore

Imagine . ~ . pushing fences and talking back . . .

Parts Playing

Does your life speak to you?  Do your Tarot cards speak?  What do they say?

Whether they speak or not, do you talk back or simply nod and reflect when you have an experience, when you pull a card?  I mean, pulling a card is usually not like pulling a muscle is it?  Do you speak from your life with cards as storied experiences informing you?  Informing you of where you push at your fences?  Where you can push at your fences?  Where to jump them?  Do your experiences, your cards, weave their fingers to give you a boost?   If I remove time as a concept for a second.  Roll with me on this.  Remove time from your equation for just a sec.   Memories and dreams are more than siblings, huh?   They may in fact be the same thing traveling back and forth across each of us.  Through us?  With us?   How’s your own Life Mirror?

 

Mirroring Life

How do your memories and dreams reflect each other? How do you stand, reflecting in the mirror, with each of them playing their own background game?  Talk back to your memories.  Talk back to your dreams. Heck, disagree with them with a joke on your breath.  They might be tired of the same road, too, or simply be umm-hmphing for a little Windex.  Are you weaving them, or are they weaving you?  Use your Inner Memory DreamTeam.  Talk back.  Humor may turn your daily drama into lively discussions.  Heck, maybe even productive ones ended oln high notes. Talk back.

Dreams Coming, Becoming True . . .

Take a look at the images above.  A photographer friend was going to throw away the cat woman one on the left back in the late 80’s.  Well, it didn’t look like this.  It was really an almost white piece of processed photo paper, the image almost completely washed out, but it spoke to me.  I bet PhotoShop can do this now, but in 1989, I saw something in a photographer friend’s hand on the almost blank sheet of hard-to-see washed-out ghost grays on its way to the trash  I saw something like a dream becoming a memory.  With an indelible, black pen, I focused in on it and aimed past the target of a dream coming true. Was it already true once I saw it?  Some people adopt animals.  Personally, I notice a Dumb Friends League / Animal Shelter for Art gig popping up in my fences here and there around here through the years.  Things tend to show up on the doorstep.  When it strikes, what do I do?   Hmmmm?  Umm-hmph?  Well, you be the judge of that.  The other one on the right was circa 2003 from a black background in . . .you guessed it.  PhotoShop.  One seemed bored, so I created another.  A dream realized into a memory.  What was that dream?  Pretty simple.  Creativity as a sandbox.  Heck, bring a little water, and start your castle.  It was similar to The Hierophant bringing spirit down-to-earth at the time, sending my ideas out into the world.  And, how does this go the other way?  How does your down-to-earth spirit make your dreams into memories?  How can you use The Hierophant as a supportive memory on your DreamTeam?  Weave those fingers together . . .

Talk back.  It’s not just for kids anymore.
