Sparky waves hello to Madame Diamond!
The eight of Swords is a really interesting card. Always a tough one to get, because one feels powerless. I'm always reminded that there is a way out, though...since the woman's feet are not bound, and there's space between the swords to escape.
Hugs to Sparky from Diamond
true: there's a way out even though it's not going to be easy. I love all those small things you can find in the tarot cards.
