So, are these cracks worth plastering over? Shouldn’t we just highlight them? Show them off to the world? Or just crumble, erode away and wait for the weather to shift and for a new structure to emerge? - Amy JirsaNew years - cant be arsed with resolutions, but! intention setting, opening space for something new, I can get behind that. I drew a card from this funky new deck of cards, The Oracle of Tarot (seems legit, right?), that my friend gave to me for Xmas. Up popped the Dreams of Change card, aka the Three of Wands. Those three women look like they’re carrying dandelions, going to seed, close your eyes, make a wish…change … but what sort of change?There’s some irony to this card, in that I have been living in suspended animation, a sort of stasis. I have become the Queen of Liminal Space, and have been reigning here for what feels like a very long time… six months? A year even. My time has been spent waiting for things to crumble, to erode away, to pass. My time has been spent waiting for the weather to shift and for new patterns to emerge. Yes to change, but there is no change in sight. Of course I’d like some freakin’ change! But change is a tricksy wish. When I’m feeling stuck I can get to thinking any kinda change is better than no change. In the past I have certainly made my fair share of leaps from frying pan to fire in just this way. I have also settled too soon [tho it felt like I had waited much too long] for things that were more of the same, disguised as change. So I won’t wish for just any ol kinda change. No, I’ll hang out here in Liminal Land until I know better.While I wait, it occurs to me, here at the beginning of a new year, that most everyone wants to change their world - isn’t that why people are busy making and sharing their resolutions? Maybe new years pushes people [not me] to make resolutions or set intentions toward resolutions before they really know what they want to change, what they want to do, or what they are willing to do. Maybe new years is a forcer of change, whether that change is organic or ready to happen. Maybe we shouldn’t be in such a rush to make resolutions, or wishes or changes. Maybe we need to just … wait. -- source link
