The Thoth deck's Four of Disks (Pentacles) was not the card I saw in the dream. But it was the one I immediately saw on waking and recalling the dream. As to why the Four of Pentacles? I can think of many reasons. Briefly, the astrology sign Capricorn is often attributed to this card, which I am, and it is after my birthday in early January that I usually find S.A.D. (Seasonal Affect Disorder) beginning to lift. I begin to feel more empowered then, too (the card is called power in The Thoth deck). There were other aspects to the dream that I have not written haiku for. But, they, too, had to do with reclaiming energy and light. "Light" I take to mean the ability to see things more clearly and in their correct orientation (not upside down :-D), which I have not been feeling I am doing very well since fall and S.A.D. arrived. All in all, a very hopeful dream after an evening of other deep and tumultuous dreams.

HAIKU: Response to One Deep Breath's Prompt of 12/11/06

The World card in The Tarot of the Cat People


early winter sun
the old woman on the bench
wakes and dozes ...

I remember reading somewhere ages ago that when someone dies an entire world ends. Maybe the dancer and the world above is what the old woman's memories and dreams contain. Maybe we need to find out....

This week's One Deep Breath prompt was to think about and observe "containers." You can visit the site to see the full prompt and others' responses.
