Card VI Revealed
This article, "The Flowers," reveals a story example from a client card reading as well as a personal story about tending to a sick kitten (spoiler alert - there is a happy ending!)
Bursting into Bloom
Two Flowers
Spring
Greeted By
The Butterfly
Flittering to the Side
It is time to appreciate all that is flourishing in your life, even the smallest elements that may be overlooked at the moment. Awaken your senses and pause to see them, in the beauty of their bloom. The grace and beauty in the world’s unfolding happens through its elements, plants and creatures. Life surprises us in its incredible strength and also in its daring vulnerability. Flowers combine both of these qualities of strength and fragile beauty in their soft, impermanent petals.
Acknowledge the animate and inanimate entities that surround you - a flower, an animal friend, a stone - by speaking to it directly. Speak out loud what you notice about it, what makes it vibrant and alive to you. You may find that by speaking to these things you can at the same time acknowledge the mirrored blossoming that is happening within your own soul.
Take note of where you might be in the unfolding process - are you still in the bud stage or ready to lift you petals to the sky? Honor this precise timing that happens when it’s ready. Blooming happens with proper care given to the growing seed - it is not a forcing or cajoling.
