Yule and the Moon of the New Year
Tarot question: How can I cope with cancer? The spread: 1. Context. 2. Where to Focus 3. Outcome
The cards: 1. Ten of Vessels, Happiness. 2. Ace of Vessels, the Waters of Life. 3. Seven of Bows, Clearance.
Yes. The context, my current life is happy. I’m not flourishing, but I am happy. To move from happiness seems odd, but not if I move toward the real potential life has. I’m a eudaimaniac, a seeker of a flourishing life. Always. And I will happily (hah) barter away happiness for flourishing.
I believe this means I need to focus on life, its possibilities, not on cancer. Pretty much what I do anyhow, but after a visit about cancer mutations, new and expensive drugs, and metastasized cancer cells. In my body. Throws me off a bit, makes me wobble. Need to restart the gyroscope.
The key to a flourishing life with cancer is clearance, cutting away what I don’t need. Focus on what’s important. Friends. Family. CBE. Creativity. Stories and narratives written by and/or experienced by me. A comfortable and beautiful Hermitage. Exercise and healthier eating. Travel. Not done yet. Not at all. One drug in front of the other. That’s the way.
