Colette Louise
card of the week
Six of Swords is our card of the week. The figures in this card have been through a challenging time. The woman has her head covered and is looking down not ready to look to the shore ahead. Next to her, a child is cuddled close as if seeking comfort. They are being helped along by a man who seems tired but determined. Rather than using a paddle, he is using a pole feeling his way along. This is a card that depicts a difficult but necessary transition. I can’t help but draw parallels in the Six of Swords with the historic events unfolding this past week, including the passing of Queen Elizabeth. The transitions in our week may not be as monumental on the world stage, but they are necessary and important too. If you look closely at the card you will see that the water in the foreground is turbulent and the water ahead is smooth, suggesting better times are indeed ahead. Bring carry-on emotional baggage only, leave behind what weighs you down, you don’t need it and it serves no purpose. As Queen Elizabeth modeled for us all so brilliantly during her 70-year reign. “Keep Calm And Carry On.” arot
