From the Tarot of the Abyss, the Six of Swords; from the Nature Mandala Cards, Harmony:
The Six of Swords illustrates a change in our frame of mind. We may hold our ethics and values close, as this woman clings to her baby, but we recognize our attitude and opinions need restructuring. Yet unless we look at our part in the chaos and turmoil, we'll just rebuild another frame similar to the one before. By seeing the whole of the matter, as this woman does from her new vantage point, we can choose what will bring Harmony. Harmony doesn't mean we don't debate views or hold people accountable for their damaging words or actions. It just implies that we refuse to nourish the rage and hatred within us. As Zenju Earthlyn Manuel wrote, "The practice is to make companions of difference and harmony... We cannot take the teaching of harmony to serve the desire for sameness and comfort."
