Dice

Should you stay? Or should you go? That is what you have been asking yourself lately. You want to throw in the towel, but if you do, are you not walking away from your responsibilities? Perhaps you should grit your teeth, because it could still improve. But what if it does not? If a situation does not feel right, then it is absolutely time to leave.

Yet because you have put so much energy in, it would not be wise to go before you have gathered the harvest. You can stay warm and snug in the situation you know, or you can put it all on the table and jump into the unknown, and finally live the adventures that will satisfy your soul, your dreams and your longing.

Only you can decide whether to take the risk. Time to cast the dice.

Verse
I take a risk in going on,
and spread my wings at last, at dawn.
And if I stay on ground I know?
Then I stay true to long ago.

Other meanings
Counselors and support groups can help in getting free of a gambling habit. It is time to take a risk. Work out for yourself which strengths and weaknesses underpin the decision you have to make. You know what you have to do. Whichever choice you make, you will be supported.

About dice
Dice as we know them today come from ancient Persia more than 5,000 years ago, when marks were cut into pieces of bone at many religious sites and then thrown. The Shona people of Africa used primitive dice called hakata. Today the Dalai Lama uses six-sided Mo dice when he has important decisions to make for his people.
