Change 2017
One aspect of the Tower in Tarot is radical shift. As a nation we are experiencing ‘radical shift’ regardless of personal perspectives.
We humans don’t much care for change. We don’t gleefully pack our bags and joyfully embrace moving from point A to point C. We generally resist, dragging our heels through the process.
We are adaptable creatures, but adaptation is not easy. The quotes below are both inspiring and encouraging.
“Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can’t ride you unless your back is bent.” ~Martin Luther King Jr.
“Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” ~Stephen Hawkings
“Saving our planet, lifting people out of poverty, advancing economic growth…these are one and the same fight. We must connect the dots between climate change, water scarcity, energy shortages, food security and women’s empowerment. Solutions to one problem must be solutions for all.” ~Ban Ki-Moon
