From the Ferret Tarot, Strength; from the Nature's Wisdom Oracle, Crocus:
Your struggles develop your strengths. - Arnold Schwarzenegger
Facing our fears and embracing our challenges are what develop our muscles of courage and resilience. Spiritual fitness takes effort; our tendency to avoid what looks difficult only makes our inner strength atrophy. Crocus is associated with joy because it is one of the first flowers to push against the last of winter's ice and snow, appearing during the earliest days of spring. It too is a reminder that when we refuse to hide, we will find our strength. As Albert Camus explained, "In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer."
