collect a deck of cards of lost cards found throughout the city

i needed some kind of pic me up.. a reminder that i am part of something much bigger.

i dont think that i have a mni in my deck yet… kinda cool.

just reordered my massive found deck… not yet complete by any stretch but its so BIG!!!!

I’m amazed how easy this has been and how cool the deck looks from the backside.

i think when i’m done i’m gonna get it framed in a double glass frame to be hung at my footboard maybe. I want them arranged by suit like this ‘performance peice’ by thomas collier…

Ive been pretty strung out with all the extra work i’ve been up to, and when i found this card on friday night, on my way home, in the dusky king street gloom, it made my day.

:)

i found another 5 spades tonight in my hood on the way home. better end to a bike incident day.

such a cool find and right in my neighborhood.

LOVE it….

did i mention that the deck is complete?! awesome!

Ok, seriously.

Something is seriously clicking in the world. thats four cards, in two weeks, although this one is not the traditional kind, and frankly doesn’t go in the deck, i’m keeping it anyway. how rare is an uno card!?

just posting this for the record, because man oh man, i have been having some serendipidous luck.

GO ME!

seriously. 3 cards in one week… thanks karma, i missed you.

tonight shilo and i had dinner after some furniture re-arrangement. it was a lovely aft/evening and i was already feeling super-lucky since i happened across a SWEET perfect sized bianchi frame while on excursion to visit family in the suburbs/badlands of barrie, ON.

I don’t mind beind that weird aunt who picks up junk on the side of the road, who has mini-kites in her pocket for our walks around the neighborhood, who plays with the lazy susan on the dining table and uses it to explain centrifugal forces and G force mathematics over breakfast cereal and ikarly.

Life is good, and i guess i have had a kismet week to really remind me why i’m here.

drinks was great, even after i was MIA to shilo’s roller derby tournament yesterday. i thought she’d be peeved, but friendship conquers all.

on our way home tipsy and talking about the reality and concept of romantic love, i crossed paths with a crumpled 10 of clubs and when i got home, i was happy to find it was a card i am missing.

i really do feel special sometimes.

i know that i live the life that isn’t the easy and clear path, but being who i am, has its little perks too and i feel like finding these cards now and again is a reminder that ‘the universe notices’.

:)

or something.

two separate events, two days in a row.

i already have the jack diamonds, but i felt kind of slighted by the find since it wasn’t even a whole card, and then yesterday whilst running in my neighborhood in the evening, i came across the ace of spades, a card i dont even have yet!

All smiles.

Especially since cards are just one of the things that feels ‘right’ right now.

Hoorah!

Its one of those things these card finds.
It sometimes comes in great sweeps of several in one week, and frankly, its been months and months since i have found anything.

I often wonder if its some kind of karmic thing when i find nothing for so long.

So, this is my official notice to the forces of the universe, i hear you. I love my life and don’t need your subtle approval/acknowledgement to be satisfied with my choices, my actual place in life.

I love you universe, and all that you provide me with, even if its the simple reminder that patience is a virtue.

Its funny, and somehow reassuring to be finding all these cards that i already have. :) I guess its a testament to the fact that i have a lot of cards by now!

Each time i pick up though, there is a surge of ‘rightness’ and a bit of gratitutde that i continue to be aware enough to spot them.
