Running a bit behind today, but here we go! Honestly, without a regular schedule in our household, I’m losing track of days and time easily. My boyfriend works at a school, his daughter was in school (and this fall heading to college), and I worked at the library. Currently, school is out and I’m on furlough (and staying home due to a weakened immune system). Alas, my internal clock is running amuck!
Now on to the card.
The card shows fiery bows, a metaphor for how we are often stuck when making decision or taking action. We are often afraid of making the wrong choice. But things re often not as hot as we think they are, so set aside your fear. Now is the time to take action.
Blessings!
TWO OF BOWS – DECISION
MEANING: The subconscious senses related to the desire to resolve decisions are awakened. The gateway stands open before the individual prepared to take positive action.
DESCRIPTION: A figure stands on a hilltop at night against a backdrop of stars. Around his head blazes a corona of flames, the fires of decision. In each hand he holds a tall, unfinished bow stave that extends above his head. From the bow staves burst flames, an expression of his vigor and strength.
READING POINTS: The bow represents not just the potential energy latent within any situation, but the need to direct and manage that energy to achieve your goals. This can mean the first movement toward reinvigorating and reforming the relationship with life. It requires the decisive will to step across a threshold and take control in a positive and proactive manner. Sometimes it may require a reclaiming and remaking of the mental and emotional tools and energies that are required to move on in life. By preparing to step up and through the gateway and make a choice to allow forward momentum to flow naturally, the fashioning of a new mental discipline or processes, or the reawakening of a previously effective but abandoned one, may be required. By summoning and directing the powerful healing energies available to you, the rough-hewn bow stave can be grasped and the process of shaping and crafting your destiny can begin. You stand at a crucial crossroads from which you can now move forward with confidence. Once the decision to take control of these elements and harness and direct your power is made, a new paradigm of possibilities is released. These energies will need skillful harnessing and responsible management to reach their full and effective potential.

While driving my grandson, who stays with us for the summer,which began this year in late May, I mentioned that many people are off today because tomorrow is the Fourth of July.He was dumbfounded. He couldn’t believe what I was saying….. He had lost all concept of time.He’s 15 years old.
I can understand. It’s definitely hard when there isn’t a regular schedule to keep things clear.
Just on time. Life has many obsticles and options. Making no decision is a decision in itself. When offered right or left hand some may want to choose both equally as good of a choice as the other. I see both choices have equal merit. Choose both.
