I had my first Tarot card reading yesterday
by the lovely Rickie Hurov
and I touched and shuffled the cards then pulled out the
High Priestess
card from the deck for my future..
It inspired this poem..
♥
The photograph was taken in Thailand, high above the ocean’s shoreline in a
sacred temple
of
bells
These tiny ones worked on a pulley system, the other larger bells were strung round the temple, to be rung with a wooden mallet, calling for protection from the heavenly deities,
evoking the
Buddhist tradition
of practicing
mindfulness
♥
Of course, ever the school teacher, I began ringing them one at a time until my partner sprinted past ringing them in rapid succession!
♥
Love,
Smidge
Simply lovely …
What beautiful bells, and an inspiring poem. I don’t know enough about tarot to understand the significance of High Priestess, but I’d easily peg you as the High Priestess of beautiful living.
Just lovely, Barb.
Well.. that’s the sweetest compliment! As a card it means to be still and follow your intuition.. something I need to do more of:)
