Think on these things...

Today's card, la Papesse, seems a fitting accompanianment to yesterday's L'Etoille.  Both seem to speak to my current preoccupation with spiritual mindfulness and what I am doing (or not doing) to develop it.  
In all spiritual practices it seems there is the eternal dichotomy between "being in the moment" and "thinking about being in the moment."  The Star seems to be mixing two waters, the water of Life and the water of personal consciousness.  It's an invitation to join the Life flow (with a capital L).   The Lady Pope, though, has been reading about such blending of the universal and the personal and is contemplating it.  
Do I simply get lost in the waters of life by going with the flow?  Or, with a little contemplation, can I learn / intuit how this flow can make me more engaged in the world?  

La Papesse is looking up from the book.  There's something out there beyond the edge of the card.  What do you see there?
