I parked my car and noticed this girl getting some sun on the hood of hers. Xtra tuffs drying on one side. iPod and bible on the other. Just chillin on a nice summer day in Spenard. A friend came out of the coffee shop just then and complimented my photos on exhibit; which made a nice segway to ask this girl for a spontaneous portrait.
Everyone has there form of hope, for me it's god, for others it's family, friends, their religion, or sometimes just a good cry at the end of the day. Whatever it is, everyone needs hope. Especially when your having as hard of a time as it seems a few of the people i know and i have been lately. Everyone hang in there, all things work out in the end.
From "The Living Bible":
Psalm 30
I will praise you Lord, For you have saved me from my enemies.
You refuse to let them triumph over me.
Oh Lord my God, I pleaded with you, and you gave me my health again.
I was awaiting Day Eight in anticipation. I `felt` something was going to happen.
I had some very strange dreams where I was trying to escape rooms with metel doors like as in abatoirs.
I woke up feeling a great `change` which is difficult to explain. Suffice to say I woke up feeling better, much better after a few days of feeling most exhausted. I even found a spring in my step this morning as I bounced along walking which I havent done for a long time.
I decided to get out my Wizards ceremonial robes for this photo, they weigh a ton. I thought of the Tarot. The Tarot have served me well for many many years and I thankfully, have been able to help probably, thousands of people over the years.
My friend Sandy as well as others have said that whenever they turn the cards and the Magician comes out in a spread then it represents me. Humility stops me from agreeing but on this occasion here I am with a tribute to the Magician and the Tarot.
Usually with the magician the sign of infinity (and eight on its side) is above the magicians head. I have leo rising in my chart and I should have been a leo (eighth month and birthsign) but I sprang from the womb early!!
I thank the powerful guides and Magicians and Wizards of long ago for helping me to get well .
The part from Psalm 30 is one of those things when you simply open a book and read what you see first. As it happens, it happened to be the Bible.
Well, it has answered my prayers.
Thought for Today:
Always believe that your prayers will be answered.
Whatever religion you happen to be, choose or believe to be right for you: Know that you always have answers to your prayers. Maybe not always what you want but what you Need.
Feeling well today and Empowered: Love Your Ed oxo
