Month of Spreads, Day 14- Creativity Block
This is my last full day in Washington. I head home tommorrow night and today had been just awe inspiring.
I did today’s reading while watching the sun set and from the limbs of a 850 year old Douglas Fir that called for me to climb it.
1) What is my main block or disconnect to my creative energies? The Fool
A lot of what I am trying to achieve in all aspects of my life I am pretty new at. That is going to lead to some stumbles along the way. The beginning steps of a journey are always the hardest
2) What parts of the creative process are helping? Eight of Swords.
The training I have been doing to free myself of mental constraints is playing off. Keep transforming my thoughts and rethink stories. Escaping toxicity will allow me to emerge gloriously.
3) What is hindering my creative processes? Father of Cups
One of the speakers this week at the conference said that in terms of fighting climate change we have to stop being nice. The time is over for diplomacy and I think this card is saying just that. Being too diplomatic is holding me back from what I want to achieve. You can’t hid your head in the sand while the world is literally on fire in places. Fuck the status quo. To make the changes I wish to see it make take getting mean from time to time.
4) What does my creative self need? Eight of Cups
To move forward I must seek meaning in what lies ruined. Take what is vital and leave the rest behind. I can’t continue to just sit at the bottom of the heap in sorrow or dispondancy. Again it may take being a bull in a china shop to make real changes. Don’t just mend the wheel. Break it. Make a new one.
5/6) How can I be effective to work through this block? Two of Swords/ Eight of Wands
Make decisions, stop fucking around and standing by inactive. Take change and do what you know you need and have been chosen to do. Being content with a draw is never going to change the world.
