Tarot in the Wild: 43
Imagine. Radically.
Our job is to imagine what our forebears did not even have the means to dream, and to do that you have to be radical. Be radical or be ready to get out of people’s radical way.

I want my poems, poems I think should be like trees. I want them to be useful in ways to us that we can’t imagine unless they’re gone. Our relationship to trees is such that we don’t know what the trees are doing for us, but if they were gone, we would definitely miss them and I want my poems to be like living things. I want them to be like life and I want them to exude the beauty of life and I think life is not-- it’s not easy. It’s complex.

Ambi Sun’s Knight of Cups brings us a golden grail of abundance and sings a compelling, captivating song. Though Water governs the suit of Cups, I see the sacred element of Fire in this bird-of-paradise. Fire challenging stale beliefs, incinerating what no longer serves. Fire cracking open the seed of a new, vital reality and a vivacious self.
You might think of the romantic Knight of Cups as the sweetest, softest of knights. True enough. But do not forget the fire of love and what the fierceness of love will lead some to do.
Imagination is a flavor of courage, especially these days. The Knight of Cups reminds you to defend your imagination with every power at hand. Your mind and imagination are sovereign and must be cleansed of influences that corrupt and suffocate. They must breathe in freedom.
Imagine. Radically.
Imagination is will, is motion. What do you will? How will you move?
