My oldest daughter is planning a big dinner for tonight, so we will end up having a party of our own - a light-hearted, loving send-off as our kids' big adventure begins!

6 of Cups: Joy and Reunion
This morning I drew the 6 of Cups from the Navigators Tarot of the Mystic SEA, and it's quite apt and lovely for today. This card represents memories, reuniting with friends or loved ones from your past, and soft, pleasant love. It also carries the essence of childhood: spending time with children, considering your own childhood, and embracing the innocence of children. All of these meanings are appropriate for today as my mother flies in this afternoon, and will escort my kids north tomorrow morning. Today is a day of enjoying my babes, welcoming my mom into my home, and recalling the adventures I had with my family as a child as we would make long drives out east to visit aunts, uncles, and cousins.
The image in today's card captures the element of happy reunion; a person stands at a table, perhaps waiting for the party to begin, and turns, surprised, as a long-awaited guest arrives and touches him on the arm. Their proximity indicates the closeness of their relationship, and the pinks and oranges, the flowers and candles, all give a gentle warmth to the scene. In the background an open door can partially be seen, with blue sky and broad landscape beyond...who else is on the way?

And after this big adventure and everything is back to normal you and your family will have a lot more happy and loving memoires to share
ReplyDeleteTrue that! The cycle continues :)
DeleteThis is lovely (I also drew the 6/Cups today!) So many memories will be made, both for your kids while they're away and for you at home. The anticipation is palpable in your posts!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Margo, that's cool that you had the same draw today! Yeah I'm focusing on the memories that they'll make and the time they'll spend with family - that takes the edge off of it for me!
