Obstacles on the PathBy Derek John Thomas / November 5, 2022 Even when living an intentional life there will be times when we encounter obstacles. They could be physical obstacles. There could be a water main where we want to dig a foundation. There could be a traffic jam on the way to work or an event. The road we are driving could suddenly dead end at a cliff. There are also emotional obstacles; we could be too scared or nervous to move forward, or we could feel insecure about our abilities. We can also discover interpersonal obstacles. Someone could be standing in our way. They could be intentionally or unintentionally blocking our progress. They may be trying to sabotage our work. They could also be holding up hoops that they believe we need to jump through to prove our worthiness to progress. There are so many kinds of perceived obstacles that we could face. What do you think of obstacles? How do you feel when you encounter one? Are you excited by the challenge? Do you appreciate them for the opportunities they provide? If you do, you are one of the lucky ones. This week’s tarot and oracle spread asks us to explore obstacles and what we might do when we encounter them.
