The Tower…

When I pulled this card this morning it was a definite laugh out loud moment. Sometimes the cards reflect your life back to with such accuracy that you feel like your deck is making a joke at your expense. But, I took this card with me throughout the day and something deeper started to emerge for me regarding the Tower. When chaos and weirdness encircle you and life is overwhelming things can seem incredibly surreal. You may feel like you are living second to second, just trying to fend off the threats. But, when you are in the real thick of the battle (just before you realize it’s all going to crumble to the ground) you experience that moment of uneasy calm where everything comes into focus and a higher level of understanding is achieved. The real message waits there for you, if you are ready for it. Clarity will find you in the most hellacious times, but you must be perceptive enough to recognize it when you meet it in the middle of the eye of your storm. Breathe and listen to the secret whispering of your pounding heart when you find yourself there. You won’t be disappointed.

“Respond from the center of the hurricane, rather than reacting from the chaos of the storm.” - George Mumford
