The Nine of Wands card suggests that my power today lies in remarkable gratitude. I am not a victim. There are no lost causes. "I've been there, done that, and know suffering -- but it's all good." I'm still standing. "Can't touch this." Self-pity is an excuse to do nothing. To appeal to sympathy for pity's sake is to seek affirmation of the choice to do nothing. I am empowered by the spirit and support of meaningful experience and I transform with silent resilience.

I like this card, says alot to me!!!!

Oh yeah the nine of wands is amazing.

I imagine a soldier on the battlefield whose legs have been blown off, but he drags his body with his hands to reach safety. Despite all odds he's still going, he still has the stamina to persevere.
