Seed of the Heart

This is your card reading for Wednesday, August 30th/17. Your card today slipped out of the 'Journey of Love' deck, authored by Alana Fairchild, Rassouli, and Richard Cohn. This is a brand new deck I picked up yesterday and I am loving it!!!  Rassouli is the artist who created the artwork for each card; Richard Cohn is the poet whose prose is included at the end of every message for the cards in this deck; and Alana Fairchild is the author of the messages for each card in this deck. Your card is 'Seed of the Heart' and the author's message for the card is this:
"Within each one of us is a divine seed of love, waiting to blossom into fullness. We don't always know what type of blossom we shall be, however, and sometimes if we try to figure it out in advance, the blossoming itself can cause us anxiety, pain or fear, because it is taking us in an unknown, unexpected direction. We may even fear that the direction we are heading is away from our life path and purpose, as if that were even possible! The seed in the heart arises as guidance when we are unfolding in a new manifestation of the divine light within. It comes as encouragement, to trust, to surrender, to allow and to be as open, unthinking and ready for the unexpected as possible. A plant just needs the right conditions to grow healthy, and if you have ever seen a blade of grass pushing up through a crack in the pavement, then you'll know that when something is meant to grow to the light, it will do so, even against the most apparently insurmountable odds.
This oracle brings you guidance -- the right conditions are being brought to you, the most perfect support for your own divine blossoming. Trust. Know that the seed in you heart knows how to grow and life supports it. It is also a sign that something in your relationships is sprouting -- a new energy -- don't be afraid to try new ways of relating now as your life energy supports it.

When sky can imagine
The dark awake
In awe, light pervades
And bares the vast tranquil mystery
Softly caressing the blue bold birth"

My message for you today is this: 
This is the perfect card to present to you from this deck at this time! (Have I already mentioned that I love this deck?!)  The energies are vibrant and alive at this time and change and manifestation are occurring at a quickened pace, even if you are not yet experiencing that...just know that it IS happening!  We need to be flexible and be open to the opportunities and possibilities that will be presenting to us now and in the near future. They may not come to you in the ways you had imagined, and they may not look as you had imagined.  Yet, now is not the time to shy away!  Be brave!  
Yesterday I shared with you a quote about being the author of your own life.  Those who are writers understand that when they are truly in the flow of their 'writing', there is an element of surrendering to what is seemingly being expressed 'through' them, rather than 'from' them. The writer sets the intention for expressing what they desire to share and then s/he surrenders to what comes forth. If you try to force it, you are usually stymied. Yet, if you haven't set a clear intention or desire for what it is you wish to share, there will be no direction or purpose to what you are writing, either. And so it is in being the author of your own life.  Understand that the underlying desire that you wish to express may not 'bloom' in the way you had imagined. Trust that your seed of the heart is being nurtured from the Universal perspective, and do your part to nurture it from the physical. This requires a self-empowered standpoint on your part and the knowing that you are worthy of being an expression of the Divine as you came here to be!  I absolutely LOVE the line in Alana's message for you that says, "A plant just needs the right conditions to grow healthy, and if you have ever seen a blade of grass pushing up through a crack in the pavement, then you'll know that when something is meant to grow to the light, it will do so, even against the most apparently insurmountable odds."  How inspiring!  The Universe is conspiring in your favor...how will you demonstrate your trust in that today?
Blessed be...
