I pull a card each morning to get some indication of the texture of the day. I've been posting them on my twitter and facebook feeds each morning. Its been interesting to me that in the last month, as often happens, the same cards keep coming up. To the point where I feel a bit awkward posting on my status feeds, because I wonder, "Will everyone just get sick of the same thing over and over again???"
Right now the 3 of Pentacles and the 10 of Pentacles have been my determined and consistent cards. They keep coming up and each time I can only nod a knowing 'yes'. The message is clear and its exactly what I've been doing, which is: Doing the work.
By that I mean, wake up and attend. Attend to the tasks at hand, almost methodically, but absolutely as a practice of presence. There are concrete and specific tasks to be done that will bring for the greater vision I'm striving for this year. And there is no mystery or hidden dynamic that needs to be assessed or excavated. No... all I'm to do now is 'the Work.'
There is a comfort in this somehow. Because the 3 of Pentacles is the prompt to Do the work. And the 10 of Pentacles is both the telling that the work will pay off, and the reminder that the work being done now is the foundation for what is to come and that this foundation needs to be a good one.
What is your Work right now? What seeds are you needing to plant in order to lay a strong foundation for the manifested life you want? I would love to hear your sharings.
