The Maine Oracle - Three Cards for a Quarantine

My Mother pulled these cards this morning, asking for general guidance. The three cards below seem to be speaking to what most of us are going through during these days of increased isolation.

1. "The White Owl" in the Past Position

    Last year at this time who knew that we as a 
    global community would be facing our current
    challenge and what benefits may result from the situation?

2. "Spilt Milk" in the Present Position

    You can't unring a bell, and whether or not we asked for
    our altered circumstances, drastic change has been 
    thrust upon us all.
 
3. "The Green Light" in the Future Position

    We are now, all of us, asked to get on with our lives as
    best we can, going with the flow, while following the new
    "rules of the road."

Here I am considering the all too human tendency to seek out others with similar opinions, and the attendant danger of ignoring or discounting a point of view which may run counter to one’s own notions. The two utility poles are carrying information back and forth, but remain disconnected from any outside source.
