Two of Swords upright
A figure sits at the water's edge, two swords crossed before her, blindfolded. A stalemate inside the head: she's refusing to see either choice.
Take off the blindfold. The Two of Swords is decision-deferred; the avoidance is the cost. One direction will reveal itself once you let yourself look.
Two of Swords reversed
Reversed, the blindfold is coming off - slowly, sometimes painfully. The truth wants to be seen.
