What if your writing wasn’t just a way to express yourself, but a way to lead something important out of the shadows?

What if every project you committed to was an act of profound trust in both your vision and in the life it could have beyond you?

Most people think of creative work as solitary.

But Orpheus and Eurydice's story tells us different.

Their story shows that creation is a partnership:

Between your effort and your faith.

Between your longing and your discipline.

Between what you love and what you must be willing to risk.

This is the spirit of Card VI: Orpheus and Eurydice.
