THE QUEEN OF SPADESGeneral Meaning: Representing the energy of a Queen, this feminine power was traditionally known as a widow, crone or divorcee. In modern times, she can be viewed as a model of self-sufficiency, independence and intelligence. She often has extremely high standards due to her subtle sensitivities, which can be perceived by those around her as being critical or hard to please. Her true motive is to refine the world, to upgrade peoples' understanding -- so that everyone can have the space they need to become fully themselves.
She is not interested in conforming. She is too intelligent to be confined to the role of housewife or nursemaid, although she is perfectly competent in those areas. She chooses her associations (or her solitude), and is seldom caught up in dependent relationships -- at least not for long. Her intelligence is not always the most comfortable to be around, but she can be counted on to see through superficiality and point to the truth of a situation.
Who cares you say.....well......
While on a daily walk (and usual route) with Mocha on Tuesday I had decided that on the walk this day I would try to rid my mind of the cobwebs, make special effort to breathe deeply some cool crisp air, look closely at the trees, listen intently to the outside sounds, hope for sunshine & just generally pay attention to whatever we might encounter that may be worthy of note. The trek took me past a yard where lay a playing card (almost on the sidewalk) 'The Queen of Spades'. Hmm I'm thinking, "I wonder, what if anything, is the significance of that". I gave it a couple sidelong glances & carried on down the street. The next day (Wednesday) we again took our usual traverse & I found the card still there. I gave it a long look & a couple sidelong glances as I again passed it by, a couple thoughts 'n questions going through my mind. A few feet down the walk Mocha chose the activity that demands a halt to the walk with attention to other duties. As I stood waiting I looked back at the playing card, thinking that for who knows what reason, I should pick it up because it may have been on my path for some reason. I completed my duty with the little 'baggie' then went back the few feet to retrieve the 'Queen of Spades' playing card which I placed in my pocket & brought home. Now I'm looking at the card, quite worn, creased & rumpled, with a hole poked in the centre, I've searched the internet & found the general meaning of the card and now I'm wondering what if anything was the importance of this whole encounter.
Maybe I just need something more consuming to occupy my mind........:) but I still think it might have some significance; what do you think?

Perhaps Grace needs to write the story of how the card got there and see if that reveals anything telling about you finding it. Just a thought. The other one is that it's a club where upon all great past queens of ancient worlds eventually find a card in their future lives. "Queen of Spades Grace was a stern but fair ruler in a land that prospered because of her rules but loved because she was really the "Queen of Hearts" in disguise. :}
It is amazing when things like this happen. I believe this is how God communicates with us in a tangible manner that is so very prized by us humans. Just recently, I lay in meditation, posing the question to Him about a dog client for whom I really needed some insight. At some point my mind played a little movie, the end scene showing me exactly what I should do to solve the problem. I was stunned! It was just so clear! With a huge 'Thank You', I have recorded the 'plan' for the dog's next session. I will let you know how well it works as I am confident it will.
Just like this prayer-vision, the card could be a sign that He knows you and is acknowledging the very special person you are. I like Linda's idea of writing a story/stories about the card. So many possibilities.
