I'm new to this, and without including any personal context, my reading of this is that: the past represents an arrangement that provides material comforts and stability, with the presence of creative energy there, the present shows the breakdown of what has been traditionally accepted in a place of insecurity and a lack of support, grounded by emotional maturity, and the future presents a clear and necessary choice, where effort and persistence will result in prosperity.
