WordPress can be such a drag. This won’t embed but you really MUST click on this. Remember in the post about meeting D. I talk about how you fall in love with a guy who says it’s raining outside and it’s sunny and you go all weak in the knees and say yes honey it’s raining? Watch this video.
OMG. It’s finally here! The Shadowscapes Tarot. I think it’s been here for awhile. I didn’t have a job and therefore, money, so I assumed when I purchased the Shadowscapes Tarot and the amazon page said (Paperback) that I was purchasing the book because the cards weren’t published yet. What arrived was the full deck of cards and book.
OMG.
I’ve been waiting for this day for 5 years at least. A total fan of Stephanie Pui-Mun Law, I’ve been drooling over this particular project of hers for so long I’m just stunned that the moment is here. I can hardly wait for lunchtime so I can go outside and play with them. Until now the Druidcraft Tarot has been the deck I use, almost exclusively (I own probably 3 dozen decks or more), but those cards are very large for my smallish hands and this new deck, that speaks to my soul? Fits just right.
Wow, just wow. This has been a new experience for me. It’s been years since I met a man who can be as cranky as me and who let’s a person know about it.
It was on my Partner List.
“Will stand up TO me if he doesn’t agree. Won’t say yes just to avoid conflict.”
I can tell you this, be careful what you ask for, you WILL get it. What that item doesn’t say is that he has to be right, he just has to speak his piece. It isn’t about right, it’s about authenticity and honesty and openness and willingness.
I briefly mentioned in the post introducing Mr. Furnace that he had a very challenging situation that was playing out in his life. I will not be telling you what that situation is because he, and I, deserve some privacy, but I can say that there is fallout, emotional damage that needs to be healed before we take our relationship in certain directions. I knew this in the beginning and I’m totally there for this. I know that the work will be worth it for both us. The Matter and our new relationship are bringing up stuff for both of us. He has a couple buttons that are very sensitive and I’ve walked into them, hmmm, three times recently. I have a button or two that he has found.
Have you ever observed the rising moon with such a steady gaze that you’ve actually seen it move? Have you ever sat yourself down in front of a rose bud during the hour it exploded into full bloom? Those experiences have resemblances to a slow-motion burst of graceful growth that’s unfolding in your own sphere. I hope you have the patience to give it your full attention, because that way it’s more likely to express its potential completely. To enhance your chances of nurturing the subtle magic, remember and ruminate on the images your nightly dreams give you.
I just don’t know what it is about Rob Brezsny but he does the best horoscopes for me. Maybe it’s because he’s a cancer too but dang, every week, spot on. And funny and brilliant and so much more interesting than most other horoscope writers.
D and I are doing much personal discovery of each other in many ways. Things are drawing out slowly, deliciously, passionately, focussedly (so what, I can make up words if I want to), with interest, abandon, affection, attention, and well, things are just darned good right now. I’m observing him, myself, and life is good.
Plus, today I get my birthday present from my parents. A mini fridge for my haven home. Work doesn’t kill me, even the worst days are so easy compared to what I’m used to.
Life is good, very, very good.
