Everything feels hard right now.

Not only difficult, but hard. The constant barrage of horrifying news. The escalating violence and fascism. The ever more flagrant disregard for decency, rule of law, and the inherent dignity of others. My jaw is clenched. My muscles poised for flight. There is almost nothing soft or yielding about my body or soul, just now.

Every message I have gotten from the universe via tarot in the last week has stood in defiance to this. Cups have been tumbling out of the deck with an unusual frequency. It feels like I am being constantly challenged to face fear without yielding my compassion. To remain open-hearted in an atmosphere intended to shut down courage. To defend my emotional sovereignty despite all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Softness and strength can and do coexist and I have my cards to thank for reminding me.
