Getting Wyrd With the Tarot 1-28 ~ Lonely Swans.

[Waystone]

Always a gut twisting card when it shows up from this deck, todays draw is the Three of Swords. 

 I am always taken by the fact that there are three different swords, the poor swan has known betrayal from more than one friend, and yet still tries to raise her head. 

  

 It reminds me not of anyone specific, but everyone in general who is lost and lonely right now.  There is a man I noticed yesterday who has made his home in a peice of cast of drainpipe in a construction site on the beltway, and everyday a handful of people collect in my store at various times during the day because they have nothing else to do and nowhere to go.  They don't always look like swans, but that's probably just my eyes malfunctioning.

  This is card that speaks of heartbreak, but provokes compassion.  Who of us wouldnt go and do all we can to save that swans life?   Today, I will find a way to encourage the lonely swans that the web of the Wyrd brings my way.
