Cards and Initial Comments for January

From the Tiny Universal Waite - Ten of Pentacles

I honor my riches
I honor my beloveds
in times of doubt
I choose unity
in times of conflict
I choose peace

Our lives follow the cycles of nature
Be patient and give yourself time to decide the next step

Poem

Where is your center?
Not in the feast
Of your senses
Nor in the whirl
Of your thoughts

It doesn't lie in
The melody
Of your visions
Nor in the mire
Of your despair

Where is your center?
What is the path
That leads you
To your core?

Your center is
Outside your walls

The path unwinds
Beyond the stars

At these brief moments
When your soul is

A tender feather soaring high
In the skies of Universal Love
