Today’s card is the Seven of Pentacles from the Art of Life Tarot. This is a rather unusual deck. It takes famous pictures then combines them with meaningful quotes to invoke the traditional message of the card.
The Seven of Pentacles is the card I call the gardener’s card. It is a reminder that hard work is rewarded. In this particular interpretation I also come away with the meaning that we all work. Even the Empress of China is doing manual labor here. Okay, so it’s pretty easy labor. Probably it is some ceremonial labor, but nonetheless, she’s doing her work.
[Tweet “I am of the mind that you can do the work in one of two ways.”]
You can bitch, moan, kvetch, whine, snivel about how awful it is to have to work.
Or…
Yeah. You know. Just do what needs doing. Make it pleasant or make it fast, but get it done.
Today I work. Today I work with joy. Pleasure in the doing carries me through the day. I acknowledge my place in the world. I am blessed to be breathing. Pain reminds me that I am alive. I seek joy in all things and in all ways. Loved and loving, I love each of you.
Seek joy, y’all. Pass it on.
Seven of Pentacles, Art of Life Tarot, U.S. Games, 2011
