25th May 2020...Slip slidin' away.

Today's storytelling.
Slip slidin' away.
And from the universal comms team the song of the same name by Paul Simon.
https://youtu.be/U7PBjKzaQEw
The lyrics that jump out are:
"Slip slidin' away
Slip slidin' away
You know the nearer your destination
The more you're slip slidin' away"
I guess it could describe the many plans we may have had for this week, being a bank holiday.
Maybe there was a holiday destination in the diary, or other plans booked in.... and now it's slipped away.
With this in mind, its no surprise that our first card today is the 5 of cups ( cups representative of the water element and of feelings and emotions).
We see a woman, full of disappointment. Looks like her hopes and plans are sliding away.
And yet she seems to be missing the singing bowl just beside her that is abundant, bright and colourful.
Maybe this card is reminding us to count our blessings 🙏 rather than our losses.
Our second card today is another 5 , this time from the suit of swords (swords representative of the air element and of thought and intellect)
Another figure who looks somewhat despondent. ( blimey what a pair these two make )
Again he's stuck on the same negative tape going around in his head. He doesn't recognise just how far he's come, or the new heights of understanding he has acquired. He certainly hasn't noticed the column of white light that shines down from the heavens. Illumination is there for him.
Our final card today is the ace of wands ( wands representative of the fire element and action)
The person has their eyes closed, thoughts burning inside of their mind. There have been tears shed recently.
They were trapped in their thinking patterns .... ( our previous two cards) yet now illumination and inspiration has sparked the seeds of possible action. They realise when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
In summary today, it feels some disappointment may be surfacing. What was maybe planned and looked forward to has been forced to change.
We are presented with a choice. We can wallow in loss, or rejoice in our blessings 🙏 today.
A reminder of somethingyou may have heard me say before .... what we focus on grows.
