JM's DoW: The Art Oracles
Posted: 11 May 2020, 08:34
Nemia had a go with this one and now I am going to try it. It's a fun and strange little deck. 50 Cards I think.
Each day you get a little note on Life, on Work and on Inspiration.
Let's see where this starts:
Buckminster Fuller! I haven't heard that name in a while. When I was in California in the early 80s he was still a big influence on a lot of people's thinking about the environment and how we live in it. The California landscape is full of the ruins of his geodesic dome homes. I think there were kits you could buy. People also built their own from scratch. It looked so easy!!
It seems at the end of the day, people didn't really want to live in glass domes after all. But his heart was in the right place. I really think that. He wanted to use his gifts for invention and innovation to make the world better.
At least he was trying!
(Funny how this sort of dovetails into my Today's Card. That happens a lot to me with Deck of the Week.)
So the messages are:
LIFE: Live to serve, serve to solve
WORK: Invent words by which to live your life
INSPIRATION: Great heights are best seen from your lowest point.
All lovely concepts. Worth considering. It's the philosophy of a worker bee, a doer, a spirit not concerned with fame or even success, but with simply continuing, trying, and having a good humour all the while.
Not a bad start for a Monday!
