Today, you may have a heavy heart, as signified by the 3 of Swords (Reversed). Recovering from emotional pain, heartbreak, or sorrow takes time; today is the beginning of that recovery. Take time, dear one, to sit in your pain and explore what is needed to help speed recovery. Life ebbs and flows. Ebbs are the lows, where we face life’s trials and tribulations. Life’s flows are our good times and our life’s abundance.
Without pain, we wouldn’t know pleasure.
Without heartbreak, we wouldn’t know happiness.
Without sorrow, we wouldn’t know joy.
Though I do not consider myself overtly religious, I do sincerely appreciate Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible:
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.”
Sending you love and healing, dear one. You are going to be okay. -Maggie
