Card 13. Building the New World: "Every word we utter changes the world. One small word whispered into a night sky while lying in a field of stars and staring up into eternity changes forever the landscape into which it ascends. Forever and ever. Every word. Every moment. Every day. From seven billion mouths and growing. And there is nothing more real than this. Nothing. Every single word is powered by light and matter, born of will, and infused with all the sound and fury of galaxies colliding in space. Every single word. String them together and it is difficult to comprehend what you have unleashed..." - from Happiness Is an Imaginary Line in the Sand (available for pre-order now: https://bit.ly/3yXIQaJ ) The companion Oracle Deck, with a corresponding card for each of the 66 essays in the book, is coming soon...

Today's card pull proves you can use Hump Day (or any day) to reboot. Start with Card 1. Look at things anew. Let go of yesterday. No. 1 - Each Day Asks This: "Each day asks this of us. That we forget our endless disappointments, our not-so-quiet rage. That we hit whatever reset is required. That we turn and face it, put on our makeup, polish our shoes. That we grind the coffee and adorn the oatmeal. That we approach uncertainty unflinchingly, unjaded. That we turn yesterday’s cheek, unclinch our fists, offer an open palm. That we believe in it. As if it had never, ever let us down. Each day asks this of us. That we rediscover ourselves. That we forget everything we knew about yesterday. That we wake up in the same bed, eat the same food, put on the same clothes, look at the same mirror, and see these all as brand new. That we wash our faces and change our socks, always asking who these things belong to... Each day asks this of us. That we remember our cells are reimagining themselves faster than we can change our minds. That everything, absolutely everything in our universe is on its way to somewhere else, something else. That it is not possible to stand still..." - from Essay 1, Happiness Is an Imaginary Line in the Sand (available for pre-order now: https://bit.ly/3yXIQaJ ) The companion Oracle Deck, with a corresponding card for each of the 66 essays in the book, is coming soon...
