Today the tarot gives us the Chariot at Carpe Diem, and to me this brings up the concept of Memento mori, Latin for remember you are mortal. At time a Roman general was going in a chariot of triumph a slave whispered in his ear: memento mori… a great tale I think.

though victorious
in triumph chariot –

Words to remember! Bjorn, your blog is like a classroom, no, a university! I learn something every time I read your posts! 🙂
I’m glad you do, the story about the slave was one my father used to tell me. It’s been important one in my life.
And Latin! Perfection. Hated those chariot races.
Your father was a wise man it seems.
Thanks for the lesson Bjorn 🙂
