Wait for the Thaw

From the Daniloff Tarot, the Knight of Swords; from the Kwan Yin sticks, #49:

On the shield of this knight, two people are in the middle, indicating this man can be eloquent when sharing his ideas and beliefs. The upraised sword on the right side suggests striving for truth and justice. However the hawk/falcon on the left shows this knight's shadow side. When a hawk attacks, sharp talons and a ripping beak can tear apart whatever it lands on in seconds. The Knight of Swords has a quick mind and tongue that can be just as destructive. The frozen Kwan Yin statue is linked with these verses:

The chilly waters turn to ice

when the year gets colder.

One day the ice

will turn to flowing water again.

Have you ever heard of writer's block? I think we can also experience our hearts being locked down, a place where we feel stuck, as if we're dead inside. Without the heart balancing my head, this can be a dangerous place for me. There is no compassionate pause to stop me from using my words and ideas to slice and dice others. With such a disconnect from my emotions, my thoughts can encourage this kind of behavior . I've been to this place before, so I know just because I think something doesn't mean it's true. I don't have to speak or act in ways that my brain tells me will help, that I know from experience will only harm. "TC" is my motto for now: "things change." I've just to give it time to happen on its own.
