Tarot Series: Strength

What soothes the beast? Let's take that apart,

little by bit,

peel and pull at the crumbs of it.

Beasts: not bloody maniacs, not always

brutes. Sometimes, just standing outside the lines, making their own way. Sometimes loyal and self possessed, sometimes so good stepping to drummers only they hear, wind up, catalize. They sometimes are breathing courage from their snouts.

 

When they trod, reeds bend under their mighty paws. Grasses supple and also strong, flexible. When they rest, birds stay ready, vigilant, able to sound alarms. When they

run

we make way because

there is probably a reason.

 

These things fall in line around, envelope, they stay the same but take a new shape. They do not ask the beast to be what it is not, do they? They accept without condition.

 

Just as the sea hums to the shore and the thinnest line separates yin from yang, her small nimble fingers stroke its chin. It chuffs a sigh, the scent of the wilderness strong in its body.

 

She might love it still. She might accept it, even appreciate its wild nature

its polar qualities.

She might love it still and learn to bend like reeds,

grasses supple and strong.
