Dog and Butterfly - by Ann & Nancy Wilson (Heart) There I was with the old man Stranded again so off I'd ran A young world crashing around me No possibilities of getting what I need He looked at me and smiled Said "No, no, no, no, no child. See the dog and butterfly. Up in the Air he like to fly." Dog and butterfly Below she had to try. She roll back down To the warm soft ground laughing She don't know why, she don't know why Dog and butterfly Well I stumbled upon your secret place Safe in the trees you had tears on your face Wrestling with your desires frozen strangers Stealing your fires. The message hit my mind Only words that I could find See the dog and butterfly Up in the air he like to fly Dog and butterfly below she had to try She roll back down to the warm soft ground Laughing to the sky, up to the sky Dog and butterfly We're getting older the world's getting colder For the life of me I don't know the reason why Maybe it's livin' making us give in Hearts rolling in taken back on the tide We're balanced together ocean upon the sky Another night in this strange town Moonlight holding me light as down Voice of confusion inside of me Just begging to go back where I'm free Feels like I'm through Then the old man's words are true See the dog and butterfly Up in the air he like to fly Dog and butterfly, below she had to try She roll back down to the warm soft Ground with a little tear in her eye She had to try, she had to try Dog and butterfly yeah Up in the air, he liked to fly The dog and butterfly, below she had to try She rolled back down to the warm soft ground Laughing she don’t know why But she had to try she had to try Dog and butterfly

9 of wands because the dog kept trying in spite of previous failures

The Star

No, the card I'm thinking of here is neither the 9 of Wands nor the Star. Although I can see your reasonings for these choices. Keep trying! ~Sally Anne

Judgement?

Ophelea	06 Sep 2004
8 of Wands?

xviiirkna	06 Sep 2004
no, sorry - it's not Judgment or the Eight of Wands. ~Sally Anne

The Moon

the hermit

The image that immediately came to mind was The Fool.

xviiirkna	06 Sep 2004
No - still not the card I see in the message of this song, although the Fool fits the pure naiveté of the dog and by way of allusion, the storyteller - and the Hermit is definitely the old man. I think the key for me is in the middle of the song...if that helps. Guessed so far: Nine of Wands Star Judgment Eight of Wands The Moon The Hermit The Fool Great answers - but keep trying! :) ~ Sally Anne

Death? Inevitable, unescapeable comes to mind

Quote: Just begging to go back where I'm free makes me think of the two of wands... I could imagine him thinking all the things in the middle of the song... Can't see dog and butterfly, though- but maybe they're just out of sight of the card ;)

Quote: Originally posted by Raeven Temperance Yay! We hava a winner! One of the things Temperance teaches us is how to balance what we desire with what we need. Giving harmonious equillibrium to things which might have otherwise appeared incongruous. The dog dreams to fly and TRIES with all of her heart, but when she rolls back down to the warm soft ground she's happy and satisfied to be where she belongs and that by daring an attempt to soar like the butterfly, she was successful...if only in her soul. Temperance might not be as clearly seen there - as mentioned earlier with the answer of the Fool, the dog is not aware that it "can't" fly...therefore has no reason to hold back from trying. but the message I find in the song rings clearly in this passage: ----- Maybe it's livin' making us give in Hearts rolling in taken back on the tide We're balanced together ocean upon the sky ----- Yet coming to terms with compromise should never make us give up on our dreams. That's my take though - obviously there's lots of symbolism in the song...probably why it's always been one of my favorites. ;) OK Raeven - you're next! Blessings, Sally Anne

Yay!!!!!!!!!!! :D I didn't think I'd win. Sorry I've taken so long to get back to this- didn't even know I'd got it! The new Lala Lyric should be up in half an hour. Raeven
