Using a Compass

From the Delta Enduring Tarot, the Two of Oaks (Wands); from the Southernisms Oracle, "Lost as last year's Easter egg:"

We keep trying to chip away at our confusion, to straighten it out, to get rid of it... what we really need to do is to examine it and in doing so transform our view of it. We need to look below the surface to how we perceive reality altogether. ―Judy Lief

A labrador retriever pauses in his romp through the marsh, considering whether he should head home, have breakfast, and dry off or keep exploring. The Two of Wands is a choice between expanding and risking the unknown versus maintaining the less uncertain status quo. "Lost as last year's Easter egg" is a saying that describes feeling lost in the weeds with no clear path ahead. Do we go all in, turn around and go back, or sit down and pause until we're clearheaded? Discernment involves sifting through information, reflecting on potential outcomes, and objectively considering how our desires and fears might be twisting our view of things. It's a great compass to use.
