Hope you had a fine weekend -- I had a pretty busy one.
Spent a few hours at the Celtic Music Fest at Sherwood Forest; wish I could have spent more time.
I was listening to a bagpipe group when they stopped to "tune" their bagpipes. One of the pipers explained that there were many moving organic parts to a bagpipe and that it was very difficult to keep it in tune. "In fact", he said, "pipers like it when pipes randomly slip out of tune since it adds interest to the tone!"
Don't know how true that is -- but don't think I've ever heard pipes that stayed in tune either. Maybe there's something to it?
Sent off my vendor registration to Middlefaire this morning. Will be attending Middlefaire near Hillsboro, Texas over the weekend of November 2nd and 3rd doing tarot readings. If you're in the area (Hillsboro is between Waco and Fort Worth), stop by and say hello!
Let's jump into this week's reading --
We begin with ... Temperance!
Temperance is an interesting card -- it suggests being "temperate". Don't sway too much to one side -- nor too much to the other. The simple (but plain, boring, normal) straight and narrow path may be the path that works best for you.
Sometimes you need to go out on a limb -- but if you do that all the time, you're likely asking for trouble. We need to be able to recognize when it's best to play it safe and secure.
Of course, we don't want to do that all the time, either! Going after the risky play works sometimes -- and even when it doesn't work, we still learn from the experience. The trick is to learn how to balance the two options.
Let's see what our second card has to say about this ... the King of Cups.
This king is kind and caring; like the Queen of Cups, he's also very patient and tolerant. He wants to help people -- because he cares about their well-being. When he gives advise, it's a good idea to pay attention to it!
So -- this King is calm, he's patient, he's very tolerant and balanced. Sounds like "Temperance" personified!
Put the two cards together and we get something suggesting that we may be tempted to over-react to a situation -- but that we might be better served by being patient and remaining calm. If we can do so, we may find that reacting in a calm and measured manner may keep us from digging ourselves into a deep hole! Play the diplomat -- try to understand the positions of all sides -- maybe we'll find ourselves being the peacemaker rather than the war leader!
Hope you have a great week -- I'll be back later with more!

That was just the advice I needed to hear, Woodsong. There has been a lot going on, read - a lot to worry about - that I know now will be better served by being patient. I've given the advice that was necessary to give, and now the shoe is on the other foot. They must take the next step, and I just have to be patient and give them the freedom to make that choice - or not. Thanks again!
Thank you!
I really like this blog is a great pleasure to read something new and interesting.
