🌙 A Card for the Path 🌙
Today, I pulled The Six of Swords. Traditionally, this card speaks of transitions, journeys, and leaving behind difficulty. It often shows movement away from stormy waters into calmer seas, suggesting that healing and progress come not from staying stuck, but from choosing to move forward—even if the destination is not fully clear yet.
But here’s the deeper current I feel within it: For me, the Six of Swords carries the song “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” as its heartbeat. Three words rise from it: Gently, Merrily, Dream. This card reminds us that the journey is not about speed or shortcuts—it’s about pacing ourselves with gentleness, like a gondola gliding through Venice rather than a motorboat tearing ahead. Along the way, we are called to notice the merrily—to savor small joys, unexpected discoveries, and the quiet beauty of the present moment. And always, we must keep our boat facing our dream, letting slow but steady progress carry us toward it. The Six of Swords teaches that when we trust the process, we not only reach the destination, but gather wisdom and delight along the way.
Reflection
Where in your life are you rushing toward an outcome instead of rowing gently toward your dream? Today, take a moment to slow down, find one small joy to celebrate, and remind yourself that steady movement in the right direction is enough.
If you feel called, share your own card pull for the day—or simply share the inspiration that you received from this post.
