Daily Draw - Five of Ghosts and Ace of Imps

This morning I was in a very chipper mood as I drew my cards. So when I turned over the Five of Ghosts (Cups), I was like, "Huh?" Next I turned over the Ace of Imps (Wands) and had to laugh at the imagery. It looks like the hand emerging from the clouds is grabbing the imp by the tail as if to prevent him from too much frolic. Just look at what happened to Mr. Pumpkinhead over there! You want something like that to happen to you? Well, do you? Because that's what happens when you're having too much fun. You don't see the danger of losing everything when you're not looking.

The imp doesn't see it that way. He looks at life differently. Life is to be lived, enjoyed, risked. He looks at the pumpkin man and thinks he is better off from having loved and lost, as the saying goes, than never to have loved at all. Pumpkinman doesn't see it that way. Not now. Not yet. But someday he will. Meanwhile, the imp struggles to break free from the limitations of the purple hand so that he can play with the leaves and stars... damn the danger of it all, there is fun to be had and life to be lived!

These cards remind me not to worry about things. Somehow, everything always seems to work out for the best. Another saying that I have always loved is: "Everything's okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end." So I will keep that in mind and have some impish fun today!
