Crevasse participation

Whilst at a party last Saturday I found myself invited into a round of Tarot card reading. Never one to shy away from others opions of what what's around the corner I choose my card.

'Participation' it was headed with. I thougtt I was (participating that is), but read on regardless. Notice the dusk, the end of the light of day and appeciate the setting of the sun, knowing it will soon return. The point was to participate in every moment of the day as if you've just been pulled from a deep ice crevasse to live another day.

'But that'll never happen to me' is often the response to that. But it happened to me twenty-five years ago. During the forty minutes or so I spent jammed down that crevasse I promised myself that if I ever got out of my seemingly hopeless situation that my life would be a bonus and I would appreciate every moment of every day, whatever may happen in life.

I guess the Tarot card was a reminder to me and all of us of the bonus of life, and perhaps to include in in our conscious living ways.
