This
youngster looks down at his cup as if it is the most precious thing he
owns. Being a gentle, kind soul, he is sensitive to how others treat
him and feels other folk's emotions as if they were his own. He knows
how words can wound, and so he is careful with his own. Likewise, his
actions are tender toward others, never wanting to cause another person
pain. He holds people close to
his heart, much like he holds the chalice. His biggest lesson to learn
is that you can't please everyone, and you can't always protect them
from pain either. Two ideas I would do well to remember today.

From the Pages of Shustah today comes the "Pale Horse:"
Anyone
who has ever ridden a horse before knows how easily they can startle if
they cross the path of something unexpected. Here the horse rears in
fear and prepares to turn and run. The Pale Horse is a reminder that
when panic threatens to make me react, I need to keep my emotions in
check and my feet on the ground. I might need to take quick action or
make a quick decision, but if my emotions are running the show instead
of logic, I'll only be reacting rather than making a wise choice.
