A note about life spreads. A life spread can only be done once. Other animals may come and go throughout your life but the three cards drawn in a life spread will never change. And, remember ... as there is only "Now", our Past and Future is also in our "Now or Present." Think of the word "Present", which is like a gift, what we co-create in our Now becomes our future. It is a gift, a present! Our present!!!

But see it true, just another view,
Of life continuing
round a bend.
