Gracie's One Card at a Time



Tagged
The Tower


We intended to build ourselves a lovely castle to live in but somehow we got stuck in tiny tall tower off in the corner courtyard away from warm and companionship. We sat up there alone and afraid until one day, maybe just yesterday a lightning bolt flashed down blew it all away. We screamed and prepared for death, but instead of doom we found ourselves sitting on a grassy lawn scratching our heads thinking, what just happened? The Tower card can tell us. It says that our castle was built with faulty bricks and we could not have been happy there for very long. It says we can now build ourselves a nice little house with big windows and bright sunshine coming through. We can have friends in and go out shopping.

When it feels like life is crashing down, hold on, hold on through the crash because something good is coming. It may not be spectacular. It may not be lit up with neon lights. But is will be quietly and nicely okay.

The Tower card heralds a hitting bottom. We’ve been holding things together just barely and now our grip is loosening and things are falling down around our ankles. Take heart! The Tower wasn’t working well for us anyway. The tower was our crutch, a construction made from our hangups and pains. Now we are ready to fly free without any hinderences. Don’t be scared. It just feels yucky. Really it is good. Besides, now with the tower gone, we can build something new. Perhaps something a little more cozy and user-friendly. “Life is measured by the rapidity of change”. -George Eliot
