“Below the jovial surface, emotions run deep.”

Barbara Moore

((The Steampunk Tarot, Moore and Fell))

Yesterday, we were on the look-out for worldly patrons; today we keep our hearts open for emotional connections. It is not enough to move through our lives making plans and conquering mountains; we must connect with people.

REMINDER: It’s no better to be safe than sorry!

If you are keeping good people at arms’ length because you think it is “easier” not to complicate your life, or “safer” to avoid heartache, knock it off. This behavior is not protecting you from anything, it is building walls and bolstering loneliness. If you are not careful, you will forget how to connect to others on an emotional level and everything will be more difficult rather than less.

I admit, some bravery is required….but I know you can do it.
