The Four of Swords

The Four of Swords is the tarot card that was extremely eager to be picked out today.
Basically, when I think about the four of Swords I think about a home.
The layout of the four swords in the tarot picture I have before me creates a loose approximation of the four walls of a house.

And in our homes, that is where we feel most comfortable and secure. We can rest our weary bones,and relax and just contemplate and reflect on the happenings of the day. It sometimes does us good to rest and get our breath back if we have just had a heated day at work or if we have had a difference of opinion with someone. We often come to a different conclusion or find a different solution to a problem if we give ourselves time to think it over and not act hastily or act in the moment.

So, in a nutshell, the four of swords signifies to me the importance of a home, of rest,and the importance of no acting hastily and of sleeping on a decision.

Just lately, in my home I have been taking advantage of the hedgerow fruits. I have several bottles of sloe gin steeping, a demi-john of blackberry wine and a harvest of elderberries in the freezer awaiting their turn for the fermenting bin. Hopefully they'll turn out ok and at least they should be tasty and full of flavour.
