Thinking, Doing

From the Songs for the Journey Home, the Three of Flames (Wands); from the Raven Cards, 'Think Big:'

          The Three of Wands/Flames shows the same lady juggling eggs. When we want to try to expand our horizons or take advantage of some new opportunities, we may imagine what that would look like and how we would accomplish it. Once we find a workable strategy, we can employ it. But the Raven Card warns us not to let any unwarranted fear sink our ship. No one would give the advice to "Think small, start big," but that is exactly how fear corrupts our mind. We are so anxious that we can't imagine any sound strategy, but we impulsively jump in deep water anyway. The lady in the Three of Wands would suggest we think big, come up with several alternate plans, and wear a life vest.

One must live the way one thinks or end up thinking the way one has lived.

 — Paul Bourget
