This morning, I asked my three-and-a-half year old son to pick a card for me for our weekend reading. I shuffled the cards, and while I was doing so a card flipped from the pack. The Ten of Swords. I usually take a card that jumps out like that seriously and include it in a reading; so I counted it as a lucky break that I wasn’t the one doing the picking this time, put it back, shuffled some more, and fanned the deck out in front of him.<\/p>\n

Of course, he picked the Ten of Swords again. He looked at it, looked up at me, face beaming, declared, “I love it!” and promptly ran off — probably to cause more mischief in the laundry.<\/p>\n

And that’s exactly what I’m going to do too, dear reader. Yes, today I’m<\/em> going to run off (metaphorically speaking, of course), and leave you clutching the card to see what you make of it.<\/p>\n

While I feel a little like I’m jumping out of the cockpit mid-flight, I’m rather relishing the idea of seeing what happens. The card seems a suitably ghoulish one for Halloween, which feels like we’re off to a pretty good start.<\/p>\n

So, if you feel inspired to put fingers to keyboard, I would love to hear your thoughts about the Ten of Swords<\/strong>. And please know: all thoughts are welcome. There are no excluded thoughts. There are no wrong answers, either. Nothing is “stupid”. In the words of Max Ehrmann in his beautiful poem Desiderata<\/em>: “You are a child of the universe, \/ no less than the trees and the stars; \/ you have a right to be here.”<\/em><\/p>\n
