Super Vaccination Context
Alas, this post is heavy going in terms of the energy required to write it. Although my headache from yesterday (Day 271) has gone, and so have the chills, I’m still a little groggy and drained, making it difficult to get anything done. Encouragingly, my boss said it took him a week before he was entirely himself again. 😱 Queensland’s encouraging jabs with a “Super Vaccination” weekend, cashing in on a milestone sporting event.
Unfortunately, with a few cases around in Queensland, there’s a potential lockdown looming. Moreover, there’s cynicism around why we’re not in lockdown already. The theory goes that it’s because the National Rugby League (NRL) grand final is on this weekend. A grand final brings in dollars.
On the upside, the state government has made a smart move, to my mind, by placing the vaccination centre at the stadium. Hence, supporters of either club were encouraged to get vaccinated because it was a ‘Super Vaccination’ weekend! Let’s face it, having a few cases hanging around probably doesn’t hurt to encourage people who have been slow in getting vaccinated to get theirs.

Unsurprisingly, in the Distant Past is The Burden. The Burden began when I commenced what seemed to be easy – write a post every day! Easy! More recently (Recent Past), my effort has not gone to waste, and there’s maturity or Ripeness when writing is much easier.
When it comes to getting vaccinated, simple Participation is the key. How cool would it be to go to a supporter-driven event and get your first jab in the Super Vaccination tent?! And the ability to relate to others who are Experiencing (influence) the same trials provide an opportunity for a deeper connection.
My Goal, however, is to experience Silence. The lines that captured my attention with the Osho page on this card is “There’s nothing to do, nowhere to go, and the quality of your inner Silence permeates everything you do”. If I focus on the first part of the sentence, the “nothing to do, nowhere to go” as my Goal, and a potential lockdown shadowing the weekend ahead, it’s a wise Goal.
With nothing planned, it means will most likely encourage Creativity! (Future Energy).
Base
The one thing that Feeling drained does, contributes energy to Slowing Down; this is how I’m feeling.
On the one hand, Others’ Views are that I’m simply trying to hold it together like the figure is in the Schizophrenia card. On the other, they could think that I need to let go of trying to keep both things running equally.
Furthermore, the views of others support the Exhaustion card in the Hopes & Fears spot. I’m hoping the drained feeling does not lead to utter Exhaustion, although I already fear I’m close to that point. This tiredness has more to do with the vaccination, not obtained on a Super Vaccination weekend but independently. However, late nights and the second COVID injection make for Exhaustion.
Finally, The Master is in the Outcome position. Have you ever noticed the moon in Silence and The Master are similar, but in The Master, it’s closer? Anyway, it’s just an observation. And despite the nervousness I felt before my vaccination, I’m glad I had it done, and the writing will get done when it gets done.
