King of Swords…

Yesterday, I was on an Island in Lake Eerie and I went out on a nature trail overlooking a gorgeous quarry. At one point I heard a very loud flapping and saw the most magnificent Eagle take off from a rock it had been perched on. Wow - what a sight. This morning, I pulled the King of Swords. Swords, in some decks, are closely associated with birds because they represent the element of air. Immediately upon pulling that card, I thought about that majestic Eagle stretching its long wings and launching into the sky. This week, instead of letting life’s little dramas swirl you into a circling spiral of doubt, defeat them by rising above it all. Channel your inner King of Swords and use those thoughts to ascend to a higher realm of thinking. True strength and focus can be achieved, if you take ownership of the end game and recognize that the little hiccups are so much smaller from where you are. Soar free and harness the wind as a buffer against the insignificant obstacles that threaten to disrupt your beautiful flight. Be the king - transcend the trivialities of your day to day by recognizing that you are engineered for higher ground!

“May you soar on eagle wings, high above the madness of the world.” - Jonathan Lockwood Huie
