the three of wands is one of the first cards i loved in my wild unknown deck - though the imagery is very similar in many of my decks: three branches joining to make a portal, through which we are invited to envision the future.
i’ve never been particularly able to do so, however, far more likely to look back to the past than forward to the future. i spent most of my youth with suicidal ideation; i truly did not think i would survive past the age of 21. the only way i have made it to 35 (nearly 36) is by taking things one day at a time.
the future doesn’t need to be a far-off thing. we can start small, envisioning how we want to live today, or maybe tomorrow if we’re feeling ambitious. and i’ll write to you again next week, when the future arrives for us again.
