I pull a card...if it doesn't speak to me...perhaps it was meant for you? How to Read the Tarot Begin by brewing a cup of tea, a nervine, lemon balm or chamomile, this is after all, your future. A reading at the dark of the moon is best, before the night creatures crawl and bad humours fill the air. Pick a circular deck, with a fairy-tale motif, and no reversals. Hold a question in your heart, shuffle the cards and place them on the table. Choose only two. Like the ancient Israelites, these are your seer stones, Urim and Thumimm, black and white, yes or no. Isn't that all you were asking? |

Camping When I was ten, a city girl I went to day camp in an urban park. We built campfires, roasted hotdogs, strung chokecherry necklaces. It was still camping. At seventy, I use walking poles because of bad hips to stroll the boardwalk at a cypress slough. I sit on a bench for hours watching turtles and water birds. It is still camping.
