The Six of Cups

Card of The Day: The Six of Cups.

            Today the Six of Cups has presented itself for contemplation. I love the light hearted and youthful aspect of this card. I will tell the story of the Bull-roarer today as an example.
            When I was very young my grandfather made a trip to Australia. When he returned he brought some tourist mementos for all of us grandchildren. One of these toys was a Bull-roarer. This is a toy that has a feather like piece of wood attached to a string. You swing the piece of wood around by the string and it produces a very unique sound. The toy has followed me around for close to 40 years. My wife who recently became a teacher works with children all day. As much as the toy had sentimental value, I wanted to see it getting used. I gave my wife the toy for her children to play with.  Apparently it is a big hit with the children. They actually ask to play with it.
           My heart has been warmed by making some children happy with a trinket from my past. The Six of Pentacles has these values. Giving, and child like happiness. If you have the opportunity to use these values today,  please don't let them pass you by.
