Three of Pentacles

Dish: Rou Jia Mo / Chinese Hamburger

The Three of Pentacles is a symbol of cooperation, communication, and practice. It tells of the beginning of a collective project: ideas are taking shape, and reality is starting to respond. Everything worth building requires concrete, minute collaboration between people. A school desk in the early morning. ThreeRou Jia Molie quietly on the desk. They’re breakfast brought by a day student for the boarders—a concrete manifestation of friendship in the real world. Before the sun is even fully up, they queued early at the most popular stall. When they reached the classroom, they were still steaming. The mantra of the Three of Pentacles is in this classroom. It’s hidden between the three of them, in a breakfast, in many collaborations, in arguments, in whispers, small notes, knowing glances, and in all the tiny efforts we make to make life better.
