#wednedsaywriting is a fun activity I'd like to try and do. Writing flash fiction with tarot card draws keeps me open and helps me practice in depth interpretstions. Anyone want to do this challenge today? . . . . . . #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarotcommunity #tarotcards #tarotwriting #linestridertarot #saphyrreflections (at Tampa, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnEHpMhFA8q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jg4euuei4rnh

TarotJournal: The Fool

One card, one month, multiple insights. 

Do you remember the giant slide? The slide decorated as if a waterfall? 

Tentatively, slowly, friends rushing past, I would climb to the top and position myself on the edge of the drop, wanting nothing more than to push myself forwards into air. 

A drop so steep we would lift away from the slide and fly, seconds of nothingness. 

How happy I felt when, hands released, finally free. 

Years later, abseiling, tear stained cheeks and pounding heartbeat. When I finally pushed off and away, lowering slowly towards the patchy earth, my harness caught and I landed suddenly, with an almighty thud. 

And I laughed and laughed - how I howled! - pure delight. 

Perhaps, Fool, I can no longer feel the harness, and so I am afraid. Afraid to commit to leaping when sitting on the red-brick ledge feels stable, solid - choices dancing beneath my feet. 

I don't want to be the fool on the edge of great love and great happiness forever. I don't think that would suit. 

I hope to find a way to leap as best I can, Fool, looking forward on the way down.
