From the Morgan Greer Tarot, the Two of Pentacles; from the Celtic Book of the Dead, the Island of the Ancestors:

This card made me think of a seesaw today, with the person as the fulcrum. With the old seesaws, when a person got off the seat at the bottom and you were at the top, you would hit the ground and bruise your bum. When life gets chaotic as we try to balance our physical and material needs, we can forget to stay in the center. When we shift to one side - overdoing things in one area and forgetting the others - we'll eventually hit the ground with a thud. That pain is life's little warning. The Island of Ancestors shows a hermit who gradually built the island with pieces of sod and saplings that washed up. The birds that gathered there were souls that he gave a place to rest. This card suggests that we work steadily but sensibly, using our energy wisely and prudently.
