From the Rider Marseille Tarot, the Five of Pentacles; from the Ostinato Oracle, Fermata:
Humans struggle; it may be our health, providing for our basic needs, or trying to solve a problem and not knowing where to start. Though we like to feel that we're strong and independent, we are wired to need others. In this card one person has her head down as she trudges on while another pauses to look at a chapel window - a sign that there is assistance available. Fermata is a notation that indicates a musical note should be held longer than its written value. Instead of feeding our worries, it suggests we pause and notice who or what is around us. There are folks who want to help without strings attached - we only need to ask. (We might think people should already know, but they often need to be told a specific way they can help.) As Cicero put it, "Not for ourselves alone are we born."
