From the Russian Lubok Tarot, the Nine of Swords; from the Marseille Oracle, Presentiments:
When we resist change, it’s called suffering. But when we can let go and not struggle against it, that’s called enlightenment. ~Pema Chödrön
A woman covers her eyes in fear as her horse-drawn sled is surrounded by wolves. The stripes on the wolves are a hint that she's not seeing reality but lost in the forest of ''what ifs." The trumpet represents presentiments, or apprehensions and expectations. When something unexpected and unwanted happens, our mind generally heads down the road of Worst Possible Outcomes. We can become so anxious that we fail to see what we can do that might be beneficial. Before we freak out, let's open our eyes and see what is in front of us rather than what we imagine is there.
