31.3.26 - 94 - Watering the Garden Tarot

-



High Priestess: Start of a new cycle. Healing and insight. Initiation. Represents intuition, mystery, and spiritual knowledge. In tarot readings, she encourages you to trust your inner voice and explore the depths of your subconscious. Subject of the reading

Three of Swords: Heartbreak, turmoil, sorrow - leading to growth

Ten of Wands: Carrying a great burden, perhaps more than you should. Feeling overburdened and stressed due to taking on too many responsibilities. It suggests that while you may be nearing the end of a challenging period, the weight of your obligations can lead to burnout if not managed properly.

Wheel of Fortune: Everything changes. Part of life's ups and downs. Embrace whatever is happening and look of opportunity. See where you can go/ grow

Ace of Swords: Important decision to be made. Mental clarity, breakthrough. New ideas, cutting through confusion with insight.

Three of pentacles: New beginnings, a wealth which is not just material. Foundational and strong. Firm. Working with others. Teamwork. 

Death: Great change. Transformation. New thinking required. Renewal.

Hanged Man: Ready to sacrifice something for a higher good. Letting go. Pause and reflect. Gain a new perspective before making a decision.

Nine of Cups: the "wish card," symbolizing fulfillment, satisfaction, and the realization of dreams. It represents a time of happiness and contentment in various aspects of life, including relationships, career, and personal well-being.

The Empress: femininity, nurturing, fertility, and abundance. It represents a strong connection to nature and encourages creativity and self-care.

A friend had asked me to read the cards for her and I said I didn't have the cards... then while watering the garden yesterday, I thought, maybe I could just try reading the cards as I have all of them in me. And I pulled the first three cards and knew it was the right move. So I went on to do the nine card spread.

And it worked. She was very happy with the reading and I knew it resonated perfectly. Contained in the Tarot is everything - I don't know how it got that way, but the archetypes journey - the Fool's Journey - and then the more day to day depictions of life... it is a great microcosm of the human experience. 

But it was a good reading and nice to know that the cards are in me now.

Geylang sepaku Geylang

Geylang Serai is the place i feel most at home in Singapore. Possibly because a vast majority of the population are still Singaporean and i speak the language they speak there - Malay. Also, it hasn't changed that much. OK, it has, but i'd like to think it hasn't. We ate at the new market there which used to be a little better than an open sewer. But it was our open sewer and we loved it. Geylang was heaving with people getting ready for Ramadan. On the table we have sup kambing, otak-otak, nasi padang and rojak. Drinkswise we have lime juice, Kickapoo and teh. It is hot - really hot. We are all pespiring and we can feel our clothes stick to our skin and bellies and thighs. Our hair is continuously in our faces, dripping and sticking too. The only thing that brings relief is a soak in the pool or a shower and an airconditioned room. No wonder when the boys came back, the first thing they said was, ah, it's great to be back in th cool weather again!. Singaporeans love th...

19.3.26 - 74 - Eulogy: What will survive of us is love

I wrote and read this for Pa at the service. It was in long hand, but I have it here typed out now. It is peppered with verses from the New Testament, because I was asked by the priest to refer to Jesus occasionally, so I made that concession. Big shout out to Ben and the Christian Community whom I spent many a delighted evening reading and discussing the Bible during Bible study class. =========================== Thank you everybody for coming here to honour the life of husband, father and legend which is Eric Sim Chin Seng. Pa crossed over on the 16th of March at 7.30 am. He went peacefully and gently. He breathed his way slowly past this life and on to the new one, leaving his bark, his body, which carried him and his indomitable spirit and endless capacity to love, for 81 years, to say farewell to one last time. This tribute is to you, for you, Pa, who always walked in the sacred steps of Jesus Christ and lived the best life which could be lived. Part I: John 1:14 "The word be...

The Central Business District

The Thinker in the OUE building Yesterday i attended a talk which was organised by some environmentalists here. It was held in the NTUC building which was in the middle of the business district. It has been years since i have been here, so i set out early to walk about the place. Everything is very very large  I arrived during rush hour and people were simply pouring out of the MRT. The crowds were swarming down escalators and out of offices - but they were not overground. No, they were underground, at the MRT. In fact thee was no one above ground. For the business district at rush hour, above ground was eerily quiet! There must be dozen of buildings which look like these To think that hundreds of thousands of people work in places like this. I used to work in a place like this. Admittedly these buildings are far more swishy and very sleek. It was like being in some espionage film set in the future. There were rehearsals for the National Day Parade and Sarah...
