Today’s card is the Queen of Wands.
She is very passionate but on the dark side; opinionated.
It’s very easy to become opinionated when you are a passionate person. For myself, in the past (and sometimes now) I will step up on my soapbox and declare to the world what they should do.
Not so much anymore though… I’ve learned that we are all individuals with different ideas, different passions, and different dreams. So I do my best to keep my mouth shut and use my songwriting as my soapbox. This allows others to grow in whichever direction they please.
In the book ‘Conversations with God’ by Neale Donald Walsch, he talks about God in this way…
If you knew everything how would you experience anything? He states that the reason we are here on this planet is to experience everything… and I mean everything. Death, War, Famine, Poverty, Greed, Hate… and the list goes on. So if everything is an experience how could you classify good from bad? It’s a concept that really needs to get down to an individual level. I have chosen a belief of what works and what doesn’t work instead of right or wrong. For instance; Religion doesn’t work for me, but it might work for you.
Do you get my point?
Thinking in this fashion will keep a lot of us off of our soapboxes and become more tolerant of each other.
Today… do what you can to observe and accept that which you haven’t in the past. Try it on for size. Observe your emotions. What do you feel when you allow this to happen? Where does the intolerance stem from?
Peace!
