Whispering Smoke: Truth is in the Bark
Truly Mine, with a pebble held proudly in her lovely teeth and a song in her step, took a moment to size up the lovely buck running the booth. She'd be lying if she said it wasn't his looks and demure-at-first voice that hadn't attracted her first, but the bark cards soon caught her full attention. Her rock set aside, she sized them up with an artist's eyes, and hummed thoughtfully. She asked after this and that, setting aside three even as she queried after more. Then, she pushed the chosen set forward.
I SHARE MY BODY, SPIRIT, AND MIND:
Body Symbol: 6. THE ACHA represents uniqueness and the embrace of individuality for success.
Body Reasoning: "Is it not what makes us unique that makes us beautiful?" she purred, flicking her clay and stone laden mane to catch the flecks in the light. "We cannot all hunt. We cannot all farm. What we are good at, let us be great at, no?"

Spirit Symbol: 17. THE FLOOD represents the cycle of endings and beginnings, a reminder that all things must pass.
Spirit Reasoning: The next was the Flood. Here, the delicate doe lifted her head and hummed. "No matter how good or bad, things are easy come, easy go. When you are happy, there is always sadness at your heels, but so to is joy. No matter how dire the night, or lonely the howl, it will pass. No matter how sweet the companionship, no matter how sturdy the soil, it will pass. It fades, and that is why every moment should be a treasure."

Mind Symbol: 13. THE MANGROVE represents drive and determination, the power of someone who knows what they want, and victory.
Mind Reasoning: When she pushed forward the Mangrove- well. This was obvious to her, and to any who might have known her. "I am confident. I know what I want, in almost all things. What I lack in certainty, I make up for in confidence. I have strong legs, even if they are thin, and I will meet any goal I set for myself."
