TWO MAPS

[These Verses speak of two ancient tools, two different maps used by the EAST ( the I-Ching) and WEST ( the Tarot deck) to describe and chart the Subconscious Mind of Man.]

The Tarot's still

And Ancient Night

Reveals those things

Oft hid from Sight.

The sailing ship

The ocean's wail

The tempest roars

Amid the gales

The shadowed trees

And quivering leaves

Give scant answers

Except to these -

Insightful looks

Thru the I-Ching

Can swift reveal

These hidden things

And give the shadowed

Figures - Light

Revealing All

With True Insight.

The Tarot tool

For Western Eyes

Reveals Subconscious

Themes disguised.

What these reveal

To practiced Sight

Will set Your Course,

Will steer You right

No one's alone

In this fair World.

We are to share

The stories told.

The Ancient Myths

The Golden Deeds

The Paths that show

The Soul's great Needs.

Reflective themes

From distant shores

Will carry us

And grant us - More.

The Total Self

Revealed in Light

Takes Fear away

From Realms of Night.

I-Ching for East

Tarot for West

Two Maps that heal

And leave You Blessed.

The Symbols teach

And numbers lead

Both Worlds Unite

In Single Seed.

Open Mind,

Receptive Heart

Will join these

Places once apart.
