Peace of Heart

Dear Friends! Welcome to the GYPSY CAFE! The friend I had some tensions with responded kindly to me yesterday, so I am happy to tell you that the cards did not refer to that particular situation. However, there were some tense times with another friend, and all my wisdom about keeping calm and philosophical during this holiday season flew right out of the window, of course; I just could not keep calm and carry on, but had to defend my own sphere when I felt attacked, and I defended it with good old attacking back. Of course, this only evolved into a vicious dance of throwing verbal punches, and the zen garden I had in my head soon became a subtle battlefield. The two glasses of wine that I ended up consuming during this duel did not help, of course, as my senses were either dulled or heightened, I am not certain, but they were out of balance, surely. Most likely, it was this tense meeting that I could not really control that yesterday's cards were referring to. Of course, all is well now, the battle-scars have healed, and all has returned to its proper place. Balance is restored, and nerves have calmed down. I can't help but think though how little it takes for me to stray from the path of peace I promised I would keep on. Our hearts are corrupt, and our memories are short. It is easy to make promises when nothing goes wrong, but it is difficult to keep them when our patience and tolerance are tried. 

Today too, I am asking the cards about the energies around me. Having shuffled the major arcana of the Sweet Twilight tarot, I drew The Fool Rx, the Sun and the Temperance cards. The combination is telling me that holding back, proceeding with caution instead of jumping into things will bring clarity, happiness and balance to a situation. The cards are telling me that harmony will rule my heart and soul today. This is wonderfully welcome change, as lately I have been tense and impatient. I am glad that this may be the sign of harmony to come.

 You must be in your office already, trying to make the most of the day. Remember that not all our days are filled with peace and sunshine. But when one comes along, acknowledge and celebrate it at your desk with a special cup of tea, spa music or a scented candle; these would draw your attention to the peace of your heart. Peace of heart is rare and elusive, and when it is finally near you, celebrate it respectfully.
