68. LOCAL / GUEST

If you are currently in your home country, imagine that you are only a guest here, or on the run. If you are currently a guest in this country or on the run, imagine that you are a native. The native has the advantage of being rooted, established, a natural right to be here, which provides a certain security. 

The guest is ‘other’, may not speak the same language, has a different cultural background, may not be in a foreign country by choice. In the end, we are all guests of life, of a host so boundless, generous and patient. 

However, if you have drawn this card, there does not have to be only a local connection, you can feel like a guest in different areas, for example in relationships or in the work environment. Play with the role of guest or local, depending on your personal situation. Where are you a guest and where are you a local? Maybe you just want to change your perspective for the duration of the role?
