A Poem about Tarot

A deck of Tarot

The Tarot is a powerful tool for gaining insight into a specific situation. It helps analyze the situation, reveals aspects that have been hidden from sight, and can suggest new directions to explore.

Here is a small poem I wrote as an exercise for the CW course I am doing…

*****

Open Tarot and tell the story,
Let it flow into the willing listener.
Weave your tales and pour
salvation into their hearts,

is already played in the Heavenly realms.
It is set and done.
Yet the Universe is kind –
and they are offered to step into the game
and change it any time –
through the power of their free will.

Move Towards Adversity…

Sensei Paritos Kar and Yulia Pal as Uke

In Aikido we are trained not to hasten away from the incoming attack but to accept its fact, move toward the opponent, blend with him, and utilize the force of the attack to our advantage. It takes years to reprogram our natural response to danger.

This principle can be used in an unpleasant life situation. When we accept it and become one with it, then the perfect solution emerges and everything evolves – the self, the opponent, and the situation.
