“Your call is important to us. Please hold . . . “
Hold for opportunity and refreshed purpose.
I asked the cards: what is pertinent right now, a few days from the Equinox (Spring in the Northern hemisphere)? What message shall I send my readers a year into a pandemic?
Knight of Wands reversed cautions slow down. You might rush past or trample an opportunity. Ten of Swords reversed says, it’s time to heal. Time to say ahh, I’ve made it through the past year. Liberation is ahead. Opportunity will come in the form of connections and relationships with others, says Ace of Cups.

On Turtle Island, I sense Spring in the air. There’s a flurry of activities and events. Some people have received covid vaccinations and feel more free. Some see blue skies ahead.
Exhausted front line workers look forward to ease, to feeling safe. They seek comfort, a safety net, livable wages, the ability to work without risking death.
Some folks who have isolated this past year fear the rush, the quickening.
Some face violence every time they venture outdoors. Some, like Breonna Taylor, faced violence in the “safety” of their home.
Some are unhoused.
Some have found comfort in being alone or in small groups and are anxious about the new world, perhaps not yet ready to grow into the sunlight.
Will I be ready? Will I be safe? Will I have adequate resources to survive? to thrive?
The following is especially for those who have the privilege of resources for comfort and safety:
You are a seed. Spend time germinating as long as suits you. A seed that reaches towards the sun too quickly might collapse without optimum structure.
For those who are ready to reach out, be kind to yourself and others.
We need to be there as supports for one another.
Urgency and haste are not called for at the moment. Assure structural integrity, strong foundations and resilient frameworks. That is the way to build a regenerative future. That is the way to lay a path of justice and liberation.
We are vines weaving together to create good supports, resilient communities that lift one another. Vines are strong. Vines can tear down the old, the unjust, the authoritarian and supremacist structures.
What is your path?
Take the time to refresh your purpose. Look to your personal goals—what will bring fulfillment? Look to pressing world needs—are you called to build a just and resilient world? How do your personal needs and goals align with global ones? Will weaving these paths, these vines, bring greater fulfillment?
In a world where white supremacy remains out of control (therefore, in control), racists act with free reign, and climate change wreaks destruction, how will you navigate your intention? Will your personal intention align with justice and liberation for all?
Blessings of viable seeds and new growth!
