July Tarot * the Fifth * ecstasy

And what if I didn’t ?? !!

What if I didn’t take the Fifth, and play it Swiss. What if I didn’t bite my tongue, and look the other way. What if I made no bones about it, and told you exactly how I felt. What if I let ‘er rip, spoke my mind, and blew my top. What if I made it unequivocally clear as to what I thought of things. And how ‘bout if I said it real slow, just in case there might be any misunderstanding.

What if I said thank you, and I love you, so very much ?? !!

What if I was full of it (love) and had no Swiss cheese to my game, and filled in all the blanks, with love ?? And what if I First Amendment meant it ?? How indiscriminating would that be ??

What if.

ecstasy * ace of cups * Voyager Tarot by James Wanless * Way of the Great Oracle

And so you’re overly sensitive, (un)protective of self, and emotionally fragile. Or so the story goes. You deal with extreme ups and downs, your (love) life is a roller coaster, and you have a (sometimes) not so secret and egotistical need to be noticed and at the center of attention, and as truth be told, you can well be caught up in your own physical and/or superficial beauty.

What gives ??

Is it perhaps time to begin to make believe, to believe in six impossible things before breakfast ?? Can you move from censor to sensor, and from denial to divine ?? Consider to feel it and live it, and no matter how intense and how unbearable the lightness of being. If you think you can’t stand the heat, consider again to do your best to stick it out. Good things may well come to pass.

Consider as well that the intensity of feeling comes with a love for life and in its entirety. What if you were all encompassing, at peace and accepting of the all of things ?? What if you chose to revere and revel, to close your eyes and to take a big gulp, and then poured out all your feelings, and thought not to hold back on any of your emotions ?? Could you let go and let goddess ??

Take her in and give it up and out. Become the beautiful and most ecstatic wildflower that you truly are. Consider to let the sunshine in, and to let it rain, and to know that each and every heartache along the way is but the chance to gather yet another flower, and for that one bouquet.

Consider yet again that you (truly) radiate (that much) love.

Consider your kundalini as risen, and that when your ida runs soft pink, and your pingala baby blue, that you are well as the blue (color of the fifth/throat chakra) butterfly (native American symbol of courage), and to speak softly of your mind, and from your (pink) heart of hearts.

Let it pour and let it rain. Consider to come into full bloom and to bare of your love, and for all to see. How much love can your chalice hold ?? How much medicine do you have to share ??

What are you holding (having) ?? Consider to pour yourself another one.
