From the Legacy of the Divine Tarot, the Five of Coins; from the Tea Leaf Reading Cards, Ship:
No one gets through life without experiencing a feeling of desperation, even if it waits for us on our death beds. To allow people to be without shelter or clothing, without mental and physical health care, without daily nourishment, and without the comfort of others is inhumane. To create situations where they feel unsafe is cruel and unfeeling. Welcome to present-day America (well at least for those of us without power or wealth). The Ship suggests movement, and the water it floats upon the emotions that can easily overwhelm us when we feel such despair. Perhaps our biggest flotation device is compassion, as Allyson Pimentel explains: "when compassion takes the form of meaningful action, it can counter the feeling of being overwhelmed because it allows us to channel our feelings into a concrete way of expressing solidarity and support for those in need." It doesn't need to be big or expensive. We just offer what we can when we can with love.
