'The Wheel of Fortune' Tarot card from (L-R)
The Gaian Tarot by Joanna Powell Colbert,
The Witches' Wisdom Tarot by Phyllis Curott and Danielle Barlow,
The Mood Tarot by Natalie Meraki
Yesterday,
I watched the livestream of my beloved friend's funeral
While a dear one held me as I cried
Then fed me,
And we talked and mourned and laughed together.
Sometimes,
I wonder about this Wheel of Fortune we're all on.
Where is the up?
And when is the down?
Or is it all
Just up and down,
All at once
And all the time?
Perhaps,
There is no Wheel of Fortune,
No up then down.
There is just life:
Grief and love and laughter and tears
All at once
And all of the time.
Which is why - while it lasts -
It is all so damned precious.
