Courage omens

Courage is the theme for the first small step, taken while you are still unsure and still soft. Its cards tend to speak at the pace of growing things: a seed that begins its work underground, a mossy door you approach slowly rather than force, a shadow that moves across the wall without having to mean anything. They do not ask you to be bold. They honor the beginning before they ask anything about the road, and they make room for what is complicated without hardening against it. Bravery, in these cards, is mostly a matter of staying open while you begin.
