Card of the Day: 4 of Wands

My god-daughter is in labour.

Contractions coming regularly.

This could be the day for celebrating her first child!

Monday's child is fair of face.

Tuesday's child is full of grace.

Wednesday's child is loving and giving.

Thursday's child works hard for a living,

Friday's child is full of woe.

Saturday's child has far to go.

But the child that is born on Sabbath-day

Is bonny and happy and wise and gay.

Card of the Day: 4 of Wands

The various meanings of tarot cards can be daunting and this card, the 4 of Wands, fits into that category with an overall positive meaning but also a reminder that all is not over.

And so it begins, a new year, a new adventure, a new moment.

Yesterday I pulled out my watercolour charts, and I think in order to get back into the rhythm of painting, I will redo all the swatches in squares by colour.

One of several reasons to do this is I find this sort of activity a form of meditation and another is to reactivate my senses to the visual--something that has been limited in scope to house painting.
