All my Sevens - is to give me wisdom of life lived truly

Dec 31
This morning when I woke up...I just feel at ease..I feel a sense of having lived through my life.
All the challenging Sevens that I have gone through make me stronger..make me more whole.
The challenges seems to tears me apart, but its on the outside layer...the inside is intact.
As if the outside need to be tear open before the inside can reveal itself.
Suddenly I recalled the Innocence Tarot card in the Key Cards I draw last week.
For the first time in the last 5 years I finally got it..

Innocence
"Zen says that if you drop knowledge – and within knowledge everything is included, your name, your identity, everything, because this has been given to you by others – if you drop all that has been given by others, you will have a totally different quality to your being – innocence. This will be a crucifixion of the persona, the personality, and there will be a resurrection of your innocence; you will become a child again, reborn." Osho

The old man in this card radiates a childlike delight in the world. There is a sense of grace surrounding him, as if he is at home with himself and with what life has brought. He seems to be having a playful communication with the praying mantis on his finger, as if the two of them are the greatest friends. The pink flowers cascading around him represent a time of letting go, relaxation and sweetness.
They are a response to his presence, a reflection of his own qualities. The innocence that comes from a deep experience of life is childlike, but not childish. The innocence of children is beautiful, but ignorant. It will be replaced by mistrust and doubt as the child grows and learns that the world can be a dangerous and threatening place. But the innocence of a life lived fully has a quality of wisdom and acceptance of the ever-changing wonder of life.
