The card
He drifts in open air with nothing beneath him, limbs loose, entirely unbraced for a fall that is not coming. Around him a web of fine gold threads links crystal to crystal in a lattice he is suspended inside, touching none of it and unaware it is there. He is neither falling nor being carried. This card names the moment you discover that what held you up was never the weight you were carrying.
To sit with
What do you still brace against, as if the bracing were what holds you up?
What has been holding you that you've never had to see?
