The Team

The 3 of Pentacles is an appropriate card for today. Even though this particular version shows a man by himself, for me, it represents the community - coming from the suit of Pentacles, this card concerns my working environment.

It was my last day in the special needs school today. We all rushed about when we got there, finishing off bits and bobs, and around 10am, the school had a parade. Starting on the playing field, all of the kids had instruments and made as much noise as they could. I pushed one youngster in his wheel chair and helped him to bang his drum. The procession worked it's way through my circus tent and into a hall, where there was a disco set up.

In the afternoon, we made our way over to the other site, where an art exhibition of the student's work had been set up. It all looked very professional and the artists, all in their teens, were extremely proud of their work. My agent came along to see it and gave us some feedback. She said that the teachers in the school had praised my work and conduct highly. It has been a completely different experience to the other school I am working for, who still haven't replied to my email from Sunday.

This card could be focusing on either work or my creative skills, but I think that it is specifically looking at the team I worked with on this project. I really did enjoy working with them. Out of the the four, none of us were work shy and we all covered each other's backs - if someone couldn't do something because they were too busy already, another one of us would step in and help. I am working with one of the women on another project soon. I shall have five days of working with her and a primary school, where I am going to be designing and making theatre costumes with them. The 3 of Pentacles could be pointing to that, since I only had this confirmed today.
