illumination, yes ~ and also, You as the one who illuminates.
the light that shines into corners and pushes shadows back, revealing what has been hidden.
in the physical realm ~ catalyzing light and growth.
in the unseen realm ~ a force of energy that governs movement (and orbits and gravity).
the center. certainty. (sure as the Sun!)
open ~ light ~ loving.. return of life after its absence, return of play after rest.
always present and ever-renewing. abundant.
returning.

In March of 2014. I began writing what I came to call “touchstones” for several major arcana (trump) cards of the tarot deck I use for readings (mine is the Thoth deck, amazing and powerful stuff, that!)
Currently, this collection of writings includes ten major arcana cards and two of the Aces, with more in-the-forming. They’re my own words, one interpretation of the cards’ essences. I allow people to draw one after a reading to keep as a message for the day or a meditation on an aspect of the Self.
{brought forward from a couple years ago, fresh and new.. a reminder that where I am now ~ is the only place I need be..}

drops of water – transitioning – their form
the single drop of water
does not in the summer say
“i must form myself into a perfect snowflake,
define my edges and my shape.”
it does not think
“i need to get myself up into the air, into a cloud – any cloud – and go there”
the snowflake that exists in the drop of water already knows
the truth of its own self
the truth of perfect – right – timing, too..
of the convergence of elements
of the rising up of all the other drops of water,
the movement toward the place where it will be released
to float gently toward its new place on the earth.
~~~
the single snowflake does not in the winter say
“a perfect drop of water i must become..”
