You are not hopeless, helpless and hapless.

The Eight of Swords fell out of my hands the other day. I really hate this card. In this deck, it is a woman bound by cloth, blindfolded and surrounded by swords.
It reminded me that I was stuck in my pain. Likely true given that I have lost my two important people so close together. It was a reminder that I have been meandering through my life over the last 8 weeks feeling muted and unclear of my path ahead. Its is the visual representation of being bound by pain with the inability to navigate my way out. It's feeling hopeless, hapless and helpless. Sometimes I really dislike spirt.
Then the 8 of swords is also a call for for me (us) to sit in and not run from what's causing the pain. Time to embrace the fear and pain of the unknown and acknowledge that this is a brief moment in time. It will pass as all other things do. Even as we sit here, things have shifted if ever so slightly.
Give your self grace, allow yourself to feel what it is that you are feeling, acknowledge what's keeping you stuck and face it head on.
That is when the healing starts and the freedom of self begins.
Love you.
