I am including the full quote here as I do find it insightful. I found this <a target="_blank" href="https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/29138-be-like-water-making-its-way-through-cracks-do-not">here.</a></p><p>“Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”</p><p>―<strong>Bruce Lee</strong></p><p>Other Notes:</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://shop.ingramspark.com/b/084?params=lbolp9h2sYhmPYlpg4MvPVIwTbCacZoIKHdjanCSae9">Buy my book: grace in every moment</a></p><p><strong>Let’s Connect!</strong></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://starmothpress.com/">Website</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://bookshop.org/shop/starmothpress">Bookshop</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/starmothpress?igsh=MXdzdjViN3V0ZmVkcg%3D%3D&#38;utm_source=qr">Instagram</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@starmothpress?_r=1&#38;_t=ZT-9188no3drHZ">TikTok</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://bsky.app/profile/starmothpress.bsky.social">Bluesky</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://ko-fi.com/starmothpress">Ko-fi</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.redbubble.com/people/Starmothpress/shop?asc=u">Redbubble</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://youtube.com/@starmothpress">YouTube</a></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.

There are 43 cards all together. Our three cards were climb, depth and curiosity. I riff on this reading, provide message, prompts and a challenge to create your own collage based on this reading. I share the process of my collage creation during the video. If enjoyed, I’ll try to add this type of bonus at the beginning of each month — time and health allowing. </p><p>There are now 3-card readings available from this deck on my ko-fi for $11. You’ll receive a PDF with a photo of the cards pulled, the message plus prompts and exercises to work with. Grab one <a target="_blank" href="https://ko-fi.com/s/b84c0529ba">here.</a> Upon purchase you’ll be prompted to provide me with your email, and I’ll send it off 24-48 hours later.
