Pick a Card

Join us for a weekly blog party in Six Sentence Stories, hosted by Denise and attended by some mighty fine, fun folk. Prompt word=PUZZLE. Read, write and come back for more SIX SENTENCE STORIES.  (Link goes active Wed night).

Shuffle the cards, cut, and cut again to unlock the puzzle of how to move forward. The Literary Oracle Deck is elegantly boxed and illustrated, its sleek guidebook rich with character, guidance, and affirmation, especially if you’ve read the literary stories that inspire.

“Just for today,” she murmurs as she concentrates, passes a receptive hand over the deck, finally pulling a single card: Eliza Doolittle and George Bernard Shaw, suggesting Metamorphosis (Transformation—Evolution—Identity). She laughs, delighted, as the cards of late have been more warning than encouragement. Perhaps she’ll skip the Rider-Waite reading today.

She definitely needs more dance and song to push through.

  6. That reminds me of someone close to me who arranged their day according to what the cards said.

    Every single morning, like a ritual.

    Sometimes I wish for such advice too but the art is in interpretation, no?

    Good six!
