The Quick Dodge reversed — the shadow
In shadow, constant dodging means never standing still. If you're always moving to avoid impact, you may be living in perpetual defense. Sometimes it's safe to stop running.
Working with this card
Look back at a moment when your instincts served you—when you said no, changed course, or simply got out of the way. You trusted yourself. Even if it wasn't graceful, it worked.
A question to sit with
What did you dodge that you haven't acknowledged?
