Picture
The 4 of Swords from the Universal Waite Tarot deck.
The 4 of Swords brings the gentle energy of stillness, rest and meditation. This may be the opportunity to take some time out for self-care before returning to a problematic situation that may take some time to resolve. 
Image Description

A statue of a Knight at rest is shown in this card. The figure lies on top of their tomb, head resting on a pillow and hands in the prayer position at chest height. Three swords hang on the wall above the Knight with their points facing down. Shown on a white background, this is possibly a painting of three swords rather than actual swords. The fourth is placed along the length of the tomb beneath the Knight.  Next to the three swords is part of a stained glass window that shows a standing figure holding their hand out to someone kneeling before them, similar to the Hierophant and the 6 of Pentacles.
