I ran across Marge Piercy’s poem entitled “The Seven of Pentacles” and had a new appreciation of all the layers in that poem and this card 💛.

What most resonated with me was Margy's idea of cultivating our own space to define what is success, and enjoy it. Good reflection questions too. Maybe I will write down my answers a bit...

I love the idea that looking at your past work is part of the creative process. I think that's how I've been feeling putting together job application materials like a research statement or teaching portfolio, especially after a few years of struggling to see the fruits of my labors.

I appreciated your highlighting the significance of the hidden root structure underground that feeds the visible accomplishments. So much of the work behind scholarship is hidden and rarely acknowledged.
