From the RainShadow Tarot, Strength; from the Liminal Spirits Oracle, Ocean:
A measured response trumps a triggered reaction every time.
―Alexander Kambiri
Mack describes Strength as inner fortitude with calm composure. While anger or fear might get our attention, acting from these emotional surges don't usually produce the hoped for results. Save the fierceness for days when survival and self-preservation require that kind of energy. Take a deep breath in, purse your lips as if holding a tiny straw, then exhale slowly. Find your center and then make a measured response. Ocean reiterates this advice. Even when its waves are rolling on the surface, it is calmer at its depth. As Hermann Hesse reminds us, "Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself."
