The idea behind this card — The vigil

Caring for yourself through this is not moving on and not forgetting. It's keeping vigil — the oldest job, always done in shifts.

TEND — The practices — sabbath, service, blessing, hope, vigil

The practice

hand yourself the vigil schedule, out loud: 'The love holds while I eat. The love holds while I sleep.' Then take your rest shift. The flame knows the arrangement.

Where this idea comes from

  • Vigil and wake traditions; self-maintenance as mourning
