Days 5 and 6 (combined)

... of the Mindful Writing Challenge (because yesterday was Silent Sunday).


See things with fresh eyes...
The essence of Epiphany.
We see a baby,
They see a king.
We see a pauper,
They see a prince.
We see a winter tree,
They see new life...

Whether you 'believe' in the story of the Epiphany, the message is clear...

 Epiphany: a moment in which you suddenly see or understand something 
in a new or very clear way
Merriam Webster Dictionary

Isn't this the lifeblood of mindful living??

PS I've just drawn my card for today - perfect or what???

      I write about the deck on my Card of the Day page - scroll down to the 22 November post. It's the one deck I really connect with :)
      Which deck do you use? Is earth the same as pentacles...?

      ok found your post with the deck! Mine is doreen virtues angel tarot deck. I liked her angel cards so much and when I saw this it seemed a more gentler version of the tarot and it spoke to me.

      It's really important to find a deck that speaks to you, isn't it?
      In my deck 9 of pentacles (I'm sure pentacles is connected to earth...) has this image http://www.artchive.com/artchive/c/caillebotte/c-botte_balcony.jpg
      with the quote:
      'None of us will ever accomplish anything excellent or commanding except when he listens to this whisper which is heard by him alone' - Ralph Waldo Emerson
      Brilliant quote, isn't it?

    It is an amazing deck you are using, Claire! With the quotes on the cards summarising the meaning of each card so beautifully (and that is not an easy thing to do) every time…. I am going to look at your older post about the deck, too.
    And yes, pentacles is connected to earth, definitely.
