strings of life
This thread spawned from a discussion in another thread when I mentioned how I ravenously devoured a new deck in a public place--on a train, on my way home from work--since I couldn't contain myself or patiently wait until I arrived at home.

The scanario: a packed commuter train, large over the ear headphones to block out any distractions to focus on the task at hand. I tore apart the packaging, held the box, smiled, and opened it. More smiling. Deck removed from box. I am sure that my eyed glazed over at some point the moment that I started to peruse the cards. Were other passengers horrified? Possibly. Did they notice that these were Tarot cards? Maybe? I could have told them that they are paper, just like their book or newspaper. But, I was in my own little world. It lasted for about 15 minutes. Deck at the time: The Dark Angels Tarot. My rude behavior was nothing compared to being forced to watch someone gorging on greasy food in a public place. See, I normally contain myself, keep my packages in my tote bag and open them when I get home. And once in a while, I feel like a kid who has been given their favorite piece of candy! I can't wait! I must have it now! No self control.
There was another thread called When you get a new deck... but it is about the process of bonding with a deck for the first time. This thread is about public displays if affection with your deck. I know I'm not the only one .
