Card of The Day: The Tower.

           I think this is one of the least welcome cards in the Tarot deck. It's reminiscent of the 911 towers going down. It's hard to miss the shocking feelings this card shows.
           As we go through life, we are all exposed to traumatic events. These events are unavoidable. What we do have control over is how we react to them. A coward feels fear before things happen. A hero feels fear after they come to pass.
           You cannot control when bad things are going to happen. Sometimes your just at the wrong place at the wrong time. Sometimes the odds just catch up to you.
           I remember a first responder teacher once told me that firefighters walk to a crash scene, they  don't run. Calm and control, even in the face of  panic, brings order back to the situation. A quick triage helps you make decisions on what to save and what to let go. Sometimes, even in the worst of times, its good to take just a few seconds to think before you act.
          Do not fear The Tower, but be ready to be calm and accepting when it shows up.
