The moon shed has a padlock on the door at the moment and a sign saying “Closed for August” but I will be opening up again in September for readings.
If you don't already follow me on Instagram you can do so today at the_moon_shed_tarot.
Hi there!
Think of this as a postcard rather than a newsletter. I'm in Northumberland writing to you.
This morning I had a perfectly ripe sweet peach for breakfast whilst the sound of a shrill yapping from a neighbouring dog pierced the air relentlessly.
Later we stood on the cliffs in Seahouses, a little fishing village in Northumberland. A woman was frantically pointing out a pod of dolphins swimming and jumping before our very eyes.
A fleeting moment of beauty. A blessing.
A man at the scene said it was his first sighting in all the 50 years he'd been there.
All day I crossed my fingers I'd see the dolphins again, greedily surveying the waves, my eyes playing tricks on me at each seagull dive or Cormorant flight.
Just because you are on holiday doesn't make you exempt from the bitter sweet symphony that makes up life.
Life is ripe peaches and dog barks, dolphins transience and loss.Even on holiday despite what the glossy brochures promise.
I'm not being a middle aged grump.Pleasure and pain, loss and gain are not inherently bad, they are simply part of this very human life. It never stops.
I pulled a card about this. Strength.
We are vulnerable us humans. We cannot tame life and make it work for us. We don't have that kind of control. We don't get to choose all pleasure over no pain.
Strength in this card is the gentle strength of compassion we need to face the wild beast that is the strange duality life offers up to us. It’s the willingness to get closer to what makes us so fragile.
I'll leave it at that for you to ponder as postcards don't have much space to write on.
There is no voice note as I definitely couldn't fit my microphone into the boot with all our camping gear.
Wish you were here.
Claire
That looks stunning where you are Claire! I immediately thought of a lion and being a Leo and calling forth all the strength and support on offer right now. 🙏
Beautifully put 💗🌈💕
