Instead its main theme seems to be cunning, and, like swords, we know that can cut both ways. Here's to the Davids of the world -- one small sword at a time.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05843235860651070479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4251756243642008737.post-34342992255163459812017-05-24T16:51:37.246-04:002017-05-24T16:51:37.246-04:00Lovely post, and yet let me give you another persp...Lovely post, and yet let me give you another perspective. Because I've been reading again for days on end about fascism, about the triumph of democracy and justice because of a few good men, men who had never thought about being warriors, let alone in a war as violent as that which brought Fascism to Italy, which is what I'm reading about, and when I look at this card I see the little man who outwits the powerful enemy, who runs into camp unseen and disarms the great garrison camped there ready to attack. He may be a thief, but he's a David against a Goliath, one who by stealth and conniving manages nonetheless to hamper and deficit an enemy that is much greater and much more prepared than he. Maybe what this card is saying - maybe what the card is saying to me! - is that no matter how great the project or the task at hand seem, or how daunting the prospects of success, these sneak-attacks of cunning and stealth may yet even the slate a little bit.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13103686330252089850noreply@blogger.com
