Being Mad at Earthquakes
Being mad at my chronic illness is like being mad at an earthquake. I can totally be mad at an earthquake. They are very dangerous at times, making buildings fall and destroying lives (and, sometimes, causing other natural disasters, like dominoes), annoying others, making me shaky and fall everywhere (I live on a fault line, it happens a lot). But being angry at that earthquake does not change the fact that it is happening. It is outside of my control, I can't stop it. So, being angry at it, while ok, does nothing to change it, because I just can't.

Mirror Dragon Tarot Part 15
Reading for 12-2- thru 12-8-19 The Center card this week is the Hierophant. The Hierophant (High Priest) represents the journey we undertake as we look for ways to define our relationship to God, Universe, Spirit, Oneness, whatever form that takes in our individual experiences. It has been shown throughout history, in all cultures and from a myriad of different viewpoints that we humans have a deep knowing that there’s something beyond our day to day “mundane” lives. We just know there’s more to being alive than that. We have an unshakable feeling that we’re here for a reason. That knowing draws us to find clear and meaningful ways of sharing these compelling feelings of connectedness. The difficulty arises when we try to impose intellectual definition to concepts that defy description. In assigning words or rules to these ideas we inevitably restrict them and therein lies the challenge. In the Tarot, The High Priestess reflects the mysteries of the Universe, and the Hierophant our need to bring them into some kind of language that we can use to share the experience. How can we share our insight into Spirit without caging it in words or the linear representations our cognitive brains need? Perhaps by recognizing that if the physical representation of our experience is sometimes lacking the true vibrance we felt, we might acknowledge ways other than words to express our awareness.
