Sometimes just before I close my eyes to meditate I read some kind of daily devotional or choose a card from an oracle or tarot deck.  Lately it has been this deck.

I first saw it in a museum in Nice, France but at that point we were two and a half months into a three month trip and I couldn’t fit one more thing into my baggage.  And then, of course, it was available on Amazon when I got back home.

The deck is called Art Oracles, written by Katya Tylevich and Illustrated by Mikkel Sommer and has 50 cards featuring a variety of artists.  The written inscriptions on each card aren’t quotes from the artist, but ideas inspired by them.

One of my current favorites, though it is hard to choose

Charles and Ray Eames

****

Design your days – don’t plan them

Aspire to profound practicality

Be unbending in your flexibility

And yes, I am trained to read tarot, but this isn’t about that, that’s for another day.
