Source Card and Compass Point

Source Card


.
I am amazed. I have a huge pile of images, meaningless and having no context on their own. Yet, when I am quiet and introspective I create meaningful collages. This is my Source Card. It is the center and the essence of me and my life right now. The images have taken on meaning: flowers (comfort/complacency); a winding path (unknown/difficulty/nowhere); A frosty leaf (frozen in time/stuck/beautiful); a candle (enlightenment/warmth/light/courage)
.
This is the story:
.
I
stay in a place where I
am comfortable yet I
am not
my path is unsure
the end is unknown
.
I
am frozen in time I
need enlightenment I
must find it myself
that is my first path
.
I
blow out the candles
others present me I
must light my own
and dot my own
I





First Comittee Card
.
The Lost Child

I found my Source story when I made my first card yesterday. I thought I was making my source card, but it turned out to be a card that was like a point on a compass. It directed me to my Source Card. This card is in charge and tells about the things I do and the things I enjoy, but with the message that I'm not really doing them. I'm frozen in time. I'm lost. No goals. Many recent changes in my life have brought me to this point. I am wallowing in my ability to stay frozen without causing a calamity. Life goes on. I'm okay. But my other Neter's are having a hey day, cajoling, harassing, laying guilt, telling on me and reminding me that "time's a wasting."
.
The Committee Neters that I have listed but which are subject to change
are:
.
Lost Child
Pleaser
Guilt Storer
Gardener
Poet
Inquisitive Learner
Hermit
Distant
Inattentive
Content
Loved By God
Distracted
Cook
Dabbler
Confident
Advisor
Comedian
Frozen
.
The interesting thing is that at some point in the future, I may have to create an entirely different source card. Or maybe not - if I remain where I am in life.

This is the backing for my Comittee cards.
