Nostalgia

I've been chasing this version for years.  I first heard this song in the 70's,  when my parents bought the original album.  It's haunted me ever since.  

I've heard Leonard Cohen sing it,  I've heard many others,  but this is the version that I heard first,  and like an imprinted duckling,  this is the one that holds true for me.   And then we moved and the record was misplaced and I hadn't heard it in years (decades!)  I've done the occasional search for it,  but never found it again. 

And then today, not even looking for it,  I finally found a perfect version of it on you tube.  Happy day! So I'm sharing my serendipitous find with you...

This is a complex card, which can have very different meanings depending on where it falls in the reading. It’s a card showing two children, one older than the other, exchanging a gift. It implies nostalgia or gifts from childhood. It’s a card about the small joys of childhood, and how those memories can warm us. Twice lately I’ve found this card in layouts for school teachers. This is card reminding us what children can teach us, and also what our past can teach us. 

But sometimes it’s about being childlike in a situation which requires more adult or astute reactions. Don’t let nostalgia for ‘the good old days’ or rose colored glasses prevent you from seeing the present accurately.
