Imaginal World

4 of swords, king of swords and the 7 of cups reversed.  I need to pull myself from the imaginal world and get my nose back to the grindstone.  Of course I am laughing at the absurdity of the statement but it's just an attitude, right?

Ella is having a bit of a struggle with herself about whether or not she can choose to apply her mind to her will, or whether she will allow it to apply it's tendencies and habits of fear to control her.  She is also learning the power of full refusal.  My goal is to try and stay present with her and hopefully help her to see the connection.

Abbey gets to learn what standardized testing really means this year, she came home with a weekly test, which is of course how they do it now, they practice it every week until they are little test taking machines.  My little goal with her is to encourage her to look at all facets of her work and try to make them all the highest quality.  This isn't stuff that they can measure on that test...

 5 of pentacles, Judgement reversed and the king of swords reversed.  It has been awhile sine the 5 of Pents showed up.  She seems to be a warning today to make choices that will lead away from that sort of suffering.  Walking around barefoot in the snow is not my idea of fun times.  The reversed judgement and king of swords have some similarities about being cranky and strict.

Seven of Swords reversed, 10 of wands and 2 of cups.  One of the constants of the past few months or so has been my feeling of a complete lack of understanding from almost everybody and everything.  It is hard to keep it together when there just doesn't seem to be a point.  Or rather that the only point seems to be to make some nice sounds every now and again, and whatever happens to make that happen is what happens.

I Organize in order to Purify 
Balancing Flow

Justice reversed, 9 of wands and the knight of swords.  I am tired of taking the back seat in our family decision making process.  I am a jazzer, tonight is jazz fest downtown.  It's sort of like church.  I want the kids to come and experience jazz fest, even if they aren't paying a lick of attention.  I want our family memories to include jazz fest every year.  In case it isn't obvious I feel pretty strongly about this, and I am not sure how many ways I can spell it out so that I am understood.

Just experimenting a little with the way things work over here.  I have not been feeling very connected to the tarot for a few days, I think I am not phrasing my question correctly or whatever.  I guess I just don't know what I want to know anymore or something.  Now that I am thinking about it I think I am feeling pretty disconnected from just about everything.  There really doesn't seem to be a point, other than chopping wood and carrying water.

I would also just like to applaud myself for remaining consistent in always saying the wrong thing at the wrong time.  I am a master of it.

In other news, the new Robert Plant record makes me shake mah booty in a foot stompy sort of way.

6 of pentacles reversed, 9 of wands and the 4 of cups reversed.  Here we are, one week into the rest of my life. It is everything I expected it to be, so far.  Just having that couple of hours every day that I can count on have made all of the difference in the world.  And again the koan for today is apt...
