Don't Push

From the Animal Totem Tarot, the Ostrich/Knight of Wands; from the Blum/Gern Rune Cards, Jera:

Did you know that an ostrich sticking his head in the sand is a myth? This flightless bird might lie on the ground and pretend to be a bush if they have chicks who can't run at the speed or distance of their parent. But even then, an ostrich has sharp eyes and can deliver a powerful kick if needed. Like the ostrich, the Knight of Wands has the confidence and grit to protect what he is trying to create or make happen. The confrontational look on this bird's face seems to say "bring it." Jera is a rune associated with harvest, however there is an understanding that what is growing must mature first. While the Knight is good at perseverance, patience is not a trait well-honed. He will have to learn - as the saying goes - that you can't push the river.

Don't push the river, it flows by itself.
