What happens when you call Jayne... Well Jayne says.......

"You need a blog," says Jayne. Now go to www.youneedablog.com and click on three things to do to get your blog. Now fill in the first blank..." Jayne has turned into DCS...... unasked for but not unwelcomed and too quick to resist. ( DCS means Dominator Customer Service )
So here I am.
I called Jayne because one of the things in my life that I am looking for is to be heard by different people.
I read something yesterday that was shockingly awakening for me. The local bookstore lady gave me a book to review for her, "Should I carry this in my store? I have no way to judge a book on the Tarot." ( well throw me in the briar patch! A free book! )
The title of the book is Kabbalistic Tarot by Dovid Krafchow. Yes! She should carry it and yes, I should read it again. It is the kindest and most heart centered book on Tarot I have ever read and the author is humble.
What I read in the book was this story: page 119:
The Wise Man
The same sage who foresaw the death of the rich man by the hand of bandits one day locked himself in his room and cried aloud. The crying and pleading when on for many hours until finally, late into the night, pale and drawn, the wise man emerged from his room. He asked his young assistant to find the last person who had visited him.
The wise mans attendant had turned away so many people from his master's door during this demonstration of grief that he could not recall the last person admitted to the sage's presence.
Years passed. The young man grew old in service to the wise man. One day, he took the liberty of asking his master what had elicited such a demonstration of grief so many years ago. The ancient one looked up, his ragged voice almost a whisper from years of dispensing advice. He smiled.
"yes," said the sage. "I remember. That man I wailed for came to me having committed a very grave offense. He had sex with a dead woman."
The servant was stunned. Why had his master cried so bitterly over another man's offense? Unbidden, the wise man explained: "In order to give advice, a person must be able to find the same offense within himself. This man came to me with such a gruesome offense, and surely that same offense had to dwell someone inside me."
For a long time the servant and the master sat in a twilit silence. Unable to restrain himself, before total darkness descended, the servant asked, "So what did you find in yourself?"
The wise man looked compassionately upon his servant and answered, " I talk when people don't listen."


oh my............................................ I do that too, too often. So I called Jayne and Jayne says, "You need a blog".

Jayne is right.

Great story. Made me think. Now I'm intrigued by that book. So many tarot books are focused on fortune telling instead of personal growth and empowerment. So that sounds refreshing. My own personal tool is The Medicine Cards. Been using them since 1987. I love animals and really connect with them as a procesing tool.

That said, that's about as far as I will venture into the New Agey arena! I, like Jayne, am a recovering New Ager. ;) Still have the baby, got rid of that bathwater!

Great first post!
