I do hope this oracle card resonates with you, in some way, today. Wishing you a lovely day!

the woods would be very silent

TRANSCRIPT:
So, I’m choosing a card for the day, or a card for now. I’ll just see what comes up. It’s (chosen from) The Firewalker deck. And it is . . .
Ah! This is the one about – it’s called, Singing Wishes into Being. And there’s a bird, who is singing, in the centre of the card. And a lovely, big, sunlit daisy, which for me symbolises my Higher Self.
There are a couple more blooming flowers, and then what looks like a tablet of stone, and lots of words carved on that, as a kind of background. So, it could be, like, someone with a background in words.
And I’m thinking, myself, of all the journals, the diaries that I’ve written, over the years. Since I was, I think, eleven or twelve. And, I have kept writing, all my life, and I am now coming up to retirement (age), so . . . (That’s quite a long time!)
Then there’s a little baby in there, who seems to be reaching out to the bird, with the kind of exploration and wonder that babies embody. It reminds me a little bit of me, as a baby – I’ve seen pictures of myself and it looks a little bit like how I looked then.
There’s a girl who is blowing a dandelion clock and making her wishes – something I used to love doing as a child, as all kids did. Also, catching – if you saw, either a leaf, or one of those helicopter seed pods that fall down from the trees, and you catch them, and then you can make a wish.
That’s what we used to believe, (as children), that we could make a wish that would come true, if we caught a leaf (as it fell from the tree).
The background beyond that is like one of outer space and stars.
So, in order to sing my wishes into being, I need to use my voice. Voice what those wishes are. Or, at least, have in my mind what those wishes are.
The blowing of the dandelion clock, to me, is like sending those wishes out, sending them out into the universe, and letting them go. Letting them fly off in the wind, and manifest in whatever way they manifest.
You can be precise about what you want. But, ultimately, you don’t know exactly what that’s going to look like. So, it’s ‘trusting’ and surrendering to whatever that will look like.
(And, being open to the possibility that your wishes and dreams may manifest in even more beautiful ways than you could ever imagine!)
Today, this card makes me think of how I have been intending to use my website again, and share my oracle cards, and how that wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be.
How, at one time, I can make an mp3 like this and think, ‘Oh yeah, that’s great, I’ll send that out, that’s fabulous.’
And then I listen to it again and think, ‘um, yeah, yeah,’ and then I transcribe it and that’s fine.
And then, maybe I look at it again and think, ‘Oh, actually, I’m not really sure this is quite what I want to put out in the world! It’s not quite right’.
And then, I don’t put anything out.
So, I thought I would do something quite simple, and brief, like a one-card reading, which is what this is. And then, see what it suggests to me.
And obviously, the goal, in putting it out online, is that it might resonate with somebody else.
So, it (today’s card) almost embodies what I’m trying to do; my intention, for the website:
To encourage, both myself(!), and hopefully, through sharing what I’m doing, to encourage others to also share their voice, share their gifts, share their creations.
So that’s quite an apt card to draw.
Okay, I shall leave that there. For now!
