King of Cups
The art of lacquering in old Japan was a painstaking process and resulted in beautiful furniture, dishes, ornaments, boxes and many other items. Lacquerware from the Edo Period still survives today, even though modern pieces decay, because care was taken in old times to ensure the longevity of the works.
This card talks about responsibility and creativity, being a learnt person, professional and liberal.
This is so in tune with today.
Was at work this morning, and had some time for casual chat with the boss, and topics hover around responsibility and professionalism. Am grateful for chances of such casual chats, for his work/life experiences do give perspective to the work I do.
And the afternoon was spent volunteering as a counter for 'Make a Wish' flag day. It was our first time volunteering for such a cause. The deed aside, I thought what the volunteers in the room did was a sense of creativity. We were supposed to pack the money not only by the value, but also by recency (new & old coins packed separately). After a while, the sorting team (people counting & sorting the money) was faster that the packing team (collating the coins into the same bag), so we were short of bags to use for a moment. Then someone started asking around for certain coins for exchange, so that they'll need to use lesser bags to pack the money. This I thought was a simple act of creativity, which incidentally eases everyone's process.
