From the Waking the Wild Spirit Tarot, the Three of Pentacles; from the Saltwater Reading Cards, Rockpool:
Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along. ~George Herbert
Poppy gives her Three of Pentacles the subtitle 'tools,' meaning our skills, resources and knowledge. Sometimes we learn how to do things differently with different tools - that is also part of mastery. It's easy to get comfortable with just a few and ignore the others. But such an expansion of our skills can help us not only be better at our craft, but to be more flexible if the project doesn't go as expected. Rockpool is is a shallow pool of seawater trapped in rocky depressions when the tide goes out. They are often homes for such animals as sea stars, mussels and small fish. The little pool separated from the ocean suggests taking a time out for rest, which can give inspiration a chance to arise.
