That Which is Far

From the Legacy of the Divine, the Knight of Coins; from the Tea Leaf Reading Cards, Horse:

How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees?

―William Shakespeare

The Knight of Coins is normally thought of as a reliable, diligent fellow who does things with care. But with horses on both cards today, it seems that they should be the focus of the reading. Horse represents freedom of movement, but on the Knight card two unharnessed horses are locked in battle. It appears that any plans for action are stymied for the moment. With a Coins card, this could suggest physical health and the need for recovery. We may find ourselves in a caretaking role for someone who is injured or ill, or we might be the one who needs rest to recuperate. One of the Knight's helpful traits is patience; if we find ourselves in one of these situations, he might offer us a Swahili proverb: "“Patience attracts happiness; it brings near that which is far.”
