Snowflakes and Leaves

Daily Draw: Margarete Petersen Tarot ~ 8 of Coins

We are told there are no two leaves or snowflakes alike. That seems difficult to believe until I think of the billions of humans and no two of us are made the same either.

I'm reminded by this card to avoid putting people in a pigeonhole. The fit will never be right, and I'd be doomed to putting them back again and again. Better to accept we don't all walk the same path to begin with. Our differences are what make life interesting.

"Like snowflakes, the human pattern is never cast twice. We are uncommonly and marvelously intricate in thought and action, our problems are most complex and, too often, silently borne." ~ Alice Childress 1916-1994
