So some days you pine for a celebration, other days for a vacation, and still others for financial or romantic rewards. But if those items appeared, they would not hold your interest for long.

Daily OM: April 6, 2022 Hawk Medicine
The Power Of Perspective
Using our spiritual vision, we can look deeply into the inner light that guides us, seeing clearly what is not visible. Hawks have the power to soar high above the earth, giving them a perspective previously only available to the inhabitants of the heavens above. Because of this, people from various cultures throughout history have seen them as messengers of spirit, bringing wisdom from the heavens and the value of their higher vision down to earth

Inner Journey:
GIVING CHOICE
“Freedom of choice is more to be treasured than any possession earth can give.”
— David O. McKay
I want to choose the details of my life. Fortunately, I’ve come to appreciate how important it is to give others the freedom to choose their own paths.
None of us wants our choice robbed from us. I can’t know what’s best for anyone but me. So why give unsolicited advice to others and expect them to follow it?
“The truest characters of ignorance are vanity, and pride and arrogance.”
— Samuel Butler
“What man wants is simply independent choice, whatever that may cost and wherever it may lead.”
— Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Daily Tarot: The Moon
You may not be prone to anxiety, but today could get on your nerves. If you find yourself noticing only the things going less than perfectly and you start feeling edgy and insecure, have a cup of tea and let your feelings settle down.
