At what cost?
A question asked and usually the Queen of Swords has the answer. Not just any answer, but the right answer, at least in her mind.
My real thought about this card is her hands seem a bit large and arthritic; the wear and tear of sword wielding I guess. What do our jobs cost in body, mind, and soul? Many have to have knees, hips, wrists, shoulders, and heart replacement at the cost of careers and jobs. The Soul bruised and battered. Still we keep doing what we must or at think we must. Even though her hands ache, does the queen continue on because she wants to or must until she no longer can lift the sword?
I bet this queen is wise enough not to offer advice unless it's asked for.

Some days it feels like I am hanging on with just the tips of my fingers. It is going to sound like nails on chalkboard if I let go.
