I've always been a white-knuckle flyer, my palms sweating on takeoff. But as United Flight 122 taxied down the tarmac on its way out of Honolulu, I fell asleep. A tickling on my wrist awakened me. It was a flight attendant fluttering a cocktail napkin over my hand. She asked, "Water?" "Please," I said. When are we going to take off? A guy across the aisle munched on pretzels. The lady next to me sipped some wine. Wait, these people have refreshments? It took a moment, but I finally put the pieces of the puzzle together. I slept through takeoff! The only explanation I had for my newfound ease with flying was that two days earlier, I'd summoned up the courage to go skydiving. Suddenly commercial flying was easy.

Each client who sits with me for a psychic reading wishes for one thing above all. Often, it’s for a loving partner, a satisfying job, a feeling of fulfillment, happiness, health, a baby, or justice. Sometimes people ask me, "Do you see my heart's desire, Derek? Is it in the cards?" I couldn't in good conscience play The Ruler of Your Destiny. But I am willing to play the Muse. In sharing what I see when I read for a client, I'm respectful that my ideas may carry influence. I'm careful to be practical, yet innovative as I conjure my visions. Sometimes I imagine sprinkling a little pixie dust on my client before she heads out the door. A woman in her thirties came to see me. She'd been single for some time. She was anxious about her relationship status. The idea of a lover is enigmatic to her. Privately, she felt flawed. To cover all this up, she unduly poured herself into her job. Slowly, she drifted into a critical stance towards men. She's disheartened by the chasm that exists between her dream of life, and the actual life she's living. She fired her questions at me as if she were a machine gun: "Don't you see children? When do you see marriage for me? I want to get married."
On any given night, you could have the most horrible nightmare. And were you to get a traditional tarot reading, the dreaded Death card could pop out of the deck at any moment! Or worse, the Ten of Swords, which features a man who’s been stabbed ten times in the back!
Naturally, our reaction is to avoid thinking about such terrible things. But what if the symbols in our scary dreams and tarot cards are trying to help us with our problems? |
