Ace of Wands

the ace of wands in the antique anatomy tarot deck resting against my young rose bush's stems. pink roses bloom beautifully & my black cat Bela sniffs them adoringly.

something magical happens inside of a seed when it becomes so full it bursts out of its hard outer shell & forms it's first root. the seed fills itself with this raw, passionate, life-giving, fiery energy, until it can't contain the energy anymore. then, it bursts open, metamorphosing, as it forms its taproot. if left to its own nature, this taproot will become the strongest, deepest root. this is how a small seed becomes a looming tree, standing tall for thousands of years.

a life-giving passion has called you, touching something buried deep in your heart, and filling you with a raw, uncontrollable passion. this passion will overwhelm you and propel you out of your comfort zone and into wild, uncontrollable growth. This growth results in complete transformation.

it is not as if you follow or listen to the passion; it overtakes you. it suffocates you. it smothers you. it becomes you.
