Description
The navy blue cover shows a lighthouse island, with the ocean waves hitting the rocks, seagulls flying, and a small fishing boat on the sea.
Open the card to see the classic red, white and navy blue lighthouse tower with a bright light at the top called a beacon. The beacon is used by sailors to help guide their ship at night. The corners of the card are embellished with nautical rope knots, a dolphin, and flying seagulls.
The lighthouse represents two contrasting ideas. They represent isolation because they must stand apart from other structures and be visible from the ocean. They represent our inevitable human connection to each other. Their purpose is to guide others into the right path.
Give this Lighthouse card to someone who needs to know they have a friend or to the person that has helped you find your way. Also a great card for the sailor in your life, your life guide, recovery coach, or anyone who enjoys the wonders of exploring the seas.
