It's Nuts

From the Victorian Fairy Tarot, the Two of Autumn (Pentacles); from the Haindl Rune Oracle, Lagu/Laguz:

          Juggling an armload of hazelnuts, this fairy is attempting to ride a bike to get somewhere quickly. He obviously can't do both well at the same time, judging by the nuts he's dropping and his posture on the bike. He could have put a basket on the bike or - since he's a fairy - flown instead. But that's what happens when we multi-task; we miss important details and ignore what should be common sense. Lagu can represent a great body of water, such as the Anglo-Saxon poem speaks of:

The ocean seems interminable to men,

if they venture on the rolling bark

and the waves of the sea terrify them

and the stallion of the deep heed not its bridle.

Just as it's not wise to try to sail the seas without knowledge and attentiveness, so we should not move through life mindlessly, in a hurry to get to the next task. Mistakes are likely, and we might miss some important intuitive information along the way.
