Flying Low

From the Hoi Polloi Tarot, the Nine of Swords; from the I Ching Pack, Hexagram 62:

Like a bird, do not fly too high or attempt too much because this will lead to disaster. ~Diana F. Hook

Though battered from his encounters with life, this guy is still standing with an expression that says "Bring it." He knows that getting knocked down is not an issue as long as you're willing to get back up and learn from your experience. Yet Hexagram 62 - Safety in Smallness - suggests a bit of humility is essential. It is good to be confident, which can give us the courage to act. But when we are overconfident, we lose our alertness and willingness to learn, falling easily into complacency.
