7 of Pentacles
Sunday, March 30, 2008
The Seven of Pentacles is a time-out card. It represents those moments after a rush of activity when we stop to catch our breath and look around. The man in the picture has paused to contemplate the fruits of his own labors, but he could also pick that fruit. In readings, the Seven of Pentacles can indicate a reward that will come your way, particularly as a result of your own efforts. Take it and enjoy.
This card is also a call for assessment. When we're busy, we don't always have time to reflect on what we're doing and why. Are we still on course? Are we getting the results we want? Serious problems can develop if you don't take stock at key moments. In readings, this card suggests that you take the time to be sure you're meeting your goals.

Where is Spirit? AncesTor? Show me the gate and I will walk through.

Tonight I made fried polenta with sauteed mushrooms, fennel, and crispy buttery sage. It turned out rather nice, although I am still learning how to crisp my sage just right - I managed one good leaf out of 5.
Work is physically demanding now, and strangely, mentally demanding too - we are setting a new store, and putting products into just the right places and checking numbers is a bit of torture - but the team are great and I love the neighborhood we are in, there is a fabulous food market just 5 mins walk away. Funny - I used to think about clothes and shoes, now I think about fancy condiments and organic vegetables. Anything that says 'raw' on the label - I have to buy it and taste it (I had raw sauerkraut last night, full of prebiotics, amazing).
Trying to muster the courage now to go to anna's jazz island - its open mike night - and I didn't organize far enough in advance to bring a friend along, so should I go on my own and belt out a jazz tune or two?
