What this card is
A young man dances on the spot juggling two coins inside a ribbon looped into a figure of eight, while behind him two ships ride high waves. He is managing, not struggling, and the sea is simply doing what seas do. The card is about keeping several things going at once with a certain lightness, and about the fact that balance is never a position you arrive at. It is a constant small correction.
