The clouds may be sharp and the thunder endless with anxiety, loneliness, lust, and grief and guilt yet the knight of swords stands fixed, determined, focussed on the path to the destination the knight is seeking. The gaze onward, to keep going. It is not by chance the knight is strong, it is through mindfulness, meditation and repetitively focussing and refocussing the mind when it strays. The knight, as do many, has skills in abundance, but it is only through focussing and refocussing that these skills enable success.
