Isidore Tarot Card for the Day: Two of Coins

Isidore Tarot Card for the Day: Two of Coins

two of coins

Well then, the Two of Coins! Guess I’d better brush up on my slackline techniques and learn to juggle! I’d say that’s sarcasm but I don’t think it’s too far from the truth. My 3yr. old daughter looked at this card and she told me that it’s about magic and using your brain to control the balls. Hmmm. Maybe she’s right. But then, she also said it was a picture of a frog. However, I do think it takes a kind of magic and some brain power to balance all of the things we generally have going on in our life.  We are balancing precariously. Too many things are going on at once. If it is possible to put down some of those balls we have in the air, then we need to do it. Simplifying life is really important. Often we complicate things to justify our existence or to make an excuse for not dealing with an issue. Make sure what is going on in your life is furthering your goals and your enriching your spirit. If it isn’t, dump it. Quickly.

On the other hand, sometimes life tosses alot to us all at once and we have no choice but to figure out how to juggle it. All the balls in the air are important. We’re not allowed to drop any of them.  I’m feeling this today. I couldn’t possibly list all of the various balls I have up in the air right now! (Plus, it would probably bore you.) The result is I need to learn how to balance them all. Focus is vital. Staying healthy if vital to being able to focus. Good sleep helps a lot with that whole “staying healthy” part. Everything is linked. Everything works together. Sometimes we can only make improvements in one of those areas at a time. But do what you can, because they are linked, it will help you to make improvements in other areas down the road. The Two of Coins is about balance, but it’s also about doing what you can. Listen honestly to your body and mind. Act accordingly. You will find your balance but just like juggling, it takes practice.

I’ve been working on this scroll for the Musical “Spamalot”. It’s been a lot of fun and quite different from the style I’m used to doing. This has to be big, basic and bold. Changing up textures and styles has been good for my brain and it helps me to feel excited about getting back into my other, much neglected art. After this, I need to finish a commission piece I’ve been working on. It’s a painting of a Shoe Fairy! She’s so cute (If I do say so myself) And again, it’s something I wouldn’t have done on my own. It’s been refreshing for my brain to do something a bit different. I really should do this kind of thing more often.
