29. MOTHER OCEAN

WOMB OF THE EARTH. GRANDMOTHER OCEAN. SEEING THE INTERCONNECTION OF ALL.

I am a child of the universe. I am one with the ocean.

We are each birthed through water, and enter into a new world of air. From the moment we begin to breathe, we are exchanging our living essence with the Earth. In the oceans, the upper sunlight zone is teeming with photosynthetic plankton. Though they're invisible to our human eyes, these tiny plant-like organisms produce more oxygen than the largest redwoods on Earth. Scientists estimate that more than half of the oxygen production on the planet comes directly from the ocean and that 91% of all life below the surface remains unknown, without description. Today, Mother Ocean is still a great mystery, as a primordial container of life. She is a creator, destroyer, and nurturing force that cannot fully be defined or reckoned with in one way.

Her waters stretch far and wide, deep and near. She is wise and strong, always sharing new lessons for us to behold and learn. In comparison to her colossal magnitude, we are small and powerless in her wake. This card asks us to consider the worlds and liminal spaces that are left unseen, and the dimensions that we cannot perceive with our own eyes. To connect with the multiverse that expands and blooms below our earthly feet, and remember that there is so much to uncover in our lifetime. This points to the knowledge that we are not alone, and asks us to believe in miracles, and more.

It is easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the surface world. We can lose track of time, and forget there are infinite miles of life that exist above and below us. When we expand our minds, we expand our hearts. We can learn to take the frivolous details of life less seriously, and understand the scope of our beautiful existence in this universe.

If this card pops up for you today, it prompts you to take a moment to acknowledge the many mysteries that seem hidden from your eyes. It encourages you to look up into the stars, and out into the Oceans, - do not forget that you are part of something infinite, and alive.

How can I connect more with the pulse of all life?
