I think this is a beautiful card from the Light-seer's tarot deck. But I've never fully understood it's meaning as shown by the accompanying booklet. It talks about "haters" and "defending your position". I think your interpretation is much softer. It's as if you are saying - think what you want of me, I am calm, serene and untouchable. Your words won't wound me. I barely register them". That matches the zen picture of the card beautifully so yet again you have told the story of the card, through a very human reaction to being misunderstood but not caring. I think showcasing the meaning of tarot through poetry is a wonderfully unique idea. I look forward to seeing some more. LOVE IT!!!

This is very encouraging, thank you for this input. Yes, this is a card of boundaries, but to me the image is very zen and like she's just so unbothered. Also, she is there taking care of herself, although she is constantly being pulled on. She is keeping herself in just as much as she is keeping the clamor out, if that makes sense. I am so glad you are reading these and enjoying them too. I appreciate it.
