I've certainly had an interesting day. The main event in it was a pipe bursting in our kitchen ceiling. I guess that can happen to anyone. However, it did make me think. I've never really been someone that believes very strongly in 'coincidence' - I tend to think that most things have a connection with something else and that there is often some wisdom contained in the connections, if you can find them.
As my husband was screaming "hold the bucket" whilst the water was pouring like a waterfall all over my work computer and its relevant parts; I did wonder what we'd done to deserve the downpour. After turning off the water, mopping up and then calling a plumber; I had time to reflect. The main reason I had time to reflect was because I had to spend about half an hour putting out every single one of my tarot and Angel/Goddess/God cards on the floor to dry.
Whilst I was doing this (and whilst I was worrying that my cards were ruined forever), I remembered vividly a conversation I had with a client a day or two ago. The most salient point of the conversation was what I said about my cards. I had held up a card to the webcam to illustrate a point to my client. My client said she thought the card was pretty. I said that actually, I didn't really like the cards that much but they were a gift and they worked well for me.
So, apart from a damaged ceiling, bent cards, and the loss of two work shifts tonight; I have been suffering from guilt. My poor cards had been publicly insulted by ME after years of sterling work. I feel so rotten I can't begin to tell you. I am wondering if it was a 'coincidence' that the pipe went when it did and that my cards were still out under it?
... and just to add to the story ...
I've been nice to my cards for the rest of the day, hoping it may just help and they would forgive me. Imagine my surprise when, just now, I've had a client on the phone. He asked for very little advice - the main thrust of his call was to tell me I'd had a bad day and then give me advice on how to fix my ceiling. Needless to say, that is not a 'typical' call. Were my cards just using him as a medium* to say they'd forgiven me?
*pun intended. Absolutely.
