You Never Know

From the Hezicos Tarot, the Three of Rods; from the Way of the Horse Oracle, Lionheart:

Decision is a risk rooted in the courage of being free.

~Paul Tillich

When we expand our world, looking to grow and develop in new ways, there's naturally a bit of trepidation. Yet there is excitement too, and often a feeling of release when we step out of the box we've been in. We wait and watch to see what these new efforts will bring. And as C.S. Lewis wrote, "You never know what you can do until you try, and very few try unless they have to." But few beginning projects and plans go as desired, and Lionheart reminds us to be assertive without being aggressive, to be protective without sacrificing sensitivity. Just because the outcome doesn't replicate our original vision doesn't mean our efforts have failed.
