A man with clarity reaches his goal sooner than the man with confidence.
―Amit Kalantri
The white lines around this sword seem to be as precise as the technical drawings of a draftsman. Rather than a jumble of ideas and thoughts, this card represents very clear, logical ones. It symbolizes lucidity -the state of being free from confusion or ambiguity. The companion book also encourages us to "Seek what is true, even when the truth is sharp." Haboob is an intense dust storm; it fills eyes, ears, noses and mouths of all left unprotected. The grit of daily life, with its dramas and unexpected challenges, can easily obscure our ability to think logically and clearly. Pema Chodron says the key is within us: "We need discernment about ourselves. What triggers or hooks us? How do we reach the point where our discomfort spills out into actions we regret? What calms our agitated mind, instead of pouring kerosene on the fire?"
