We are always wondering what is going to happen next, in the future and how are we going to deal with any dilemmas.
Time is current and also the future.
We are living in time and time does not wait it always comes towards us as we purely exist.
We search for answers as we question every moment,
and when we catch ourselves in conflict we start to reply on objects which can predict the future.
One traditional and international method is tarot card reading.
By picking individual cards we ‘expect’ and wonder for certain ‘guidance’.
The random card we pick gives us a story, a narrative to follow our future with.
The card you are about to pick will give you guidance and hopefully will lead you to your next destination in time.

A narrow hallway was covered with mirrors on both walls and the ceiling. Eight televisions at the end of the hallway were displaying Chinese character (會者定離 去者必返) and playing Hollywood movies in the background. The Chinese characters mean,“Those who meet will part, and those who go will comeback.” When viewers walk in, lights turn on and mirrors show infinite reflections of themselves, Chinese characters, and movie clips, symbolizing what we experience with other human beings again and again throughout our lives-meeting and parting.
