When I saw this sloth as the Hanged Man, I howled with laughter. Last week I went to see Zootopia with my daughter, and in it they had sloths running the DMV (Dept. of Motor Vehicles). As I'm sure you've experienced when visiting a government office, you better be prepared to patiently wait before being served. Waiting is not my strong suit; I want to push, pull or scream to get people to move faster and with greater efficiency. But life is full of situations I can't force to move at the rate I'd like (or even move at all). However the Deception card allows me to see this "spinning my wheels" moment in a new light. If I'm moving quickly with only my destination as a goal, I'll easily miss what is right under my nose. Important details, something beautiful, a tender exchange or words that give clarity - all of these I might overlook. Watching patiently while in a receptive mode might not only get me to my objective, it just might deliver an unexpected joy too.
