WINTER

From the Living Altar Oracle Deck by Kiki Robinson & Ylva Marzanna Radziszewski.
I simply turned 41. What a splendidly odd yr for the reason that final one, after I dedicated myself to the nonsense of dance, not realizing what that meant. I nonetheless don’t – what’s grown is my love of nonsense.
