Deeper meaning
My card of third place solutions
Most people read this as a stalemate or a refusal to decide. I think the premise of the decision is wrong. She thinks she only has two choices, these two swords, but she has a third option right there. If she put the swords down and took the blindfold off she’d see the island behind her. That’s why I always say this is my card of third place solutions, and we’re in a time of third place solutions generally. This or that thinking is the trap. The other thing to notice is that those crossed swords are defensive, she’s protecting her heart, and the protecting is exactly what’s keeping her stuck.
In the good stuff
You found the third option. The island behind you is where you’re headed.
