This tended to happen when I was having a quiet, reflective moment, looking out a window for example. While we have had our challenges, without a doubt, knowing my son has been my life’s greatest blessing. He’s now 28.

My other experience had happened about two years earlier than that.
I had been traveling on my own through Scotland. I was young, short on money and staying at youth hostels. I had left the Island of Sky early in the morning. An old lady on the main land had sold me a bus ticket to a place whose name I don’t remember, from which I was going to take a train to Oban. The trip was very long and I fell asleep. The bus driver woke me up to tell me it was time for me to get off. I was the only passenger to get off at that particular stop. After the bus left I realized that I was all alone on a road apparently to nowhere, and it was pitch dark.
I remembered clearly the old lady telling me that all I had to do was to cross the road and I would have been at the train station. All that I could see on the other side of the road were woods and a few single houses here and there. I started running toward them. Once I got closer I realized that one of the small building was some kind of tiny hotel. I went in and I asked the owner where the train station was. He walked out with me, pointed toward a far away light in the woods and said “Over there, but you better hurry,
the train will be there shortly.”
Young city girl that I was at the time, I remember running into the woods with my heavy back pack dangling on my back and memory of a scary movie involving werewolves and two young guys traveling with their back packs.
The guys were told “Whatever you do stay away from the woods.” It goes without saying that they did end up in the woods, where they were promptly attacked by the werewolf. So there I was, scared out of my mind, running in
the dark woods toward a light and the promised safety of an improbable railway station. When I reached the light what I found was a single railway track. I stood there totally alone trembling and looking at the trees bending in the wind.
It was then that a cat came out of the dark and approached me. He came to me like he had known me all his life. He rubbed against my legs and purred. I petted him and talked to him and immediately felt so much better. A moment later the train arrived. Amazingly the cat didn’t run away. He staid there watching me climb in. I have always loved cats, and I could not imagine living my life without them. That particular feline that night was an angel to me. Objectively perhaps I may have been in no danger, but I know that without the cat I would have lost my mind with fear.

I love the way you constructed this post. Very creative to use an alter ego to bring up the right scenario for the questions to unfold naturally ans seamlessly… I expect nothing less from a master Tarot reader than creativity and imagination which you have buckets full to the brim.

Keep up the good work.

I’ve had a consistent “no” answer to a relationship question — or, what can feel worse than “no,” a “maybe, but not right now” answer. It makes me want to pick up the cards and demand, “If not now, when? Why do I have to wait? What am I waiting for?” But of course those are things I need to work out, and when I try to get more details the cards simply deflect the question towards the issues that ARE in front of me right now.

This is one issue that hasn’t played itself out fully, but I do know that looking back on the “no” answers I’ve received, I’m already glad I listened. Timing is everything.
