Ferc thought:

1. When in doubt, I'm being silly
2. Ensure that YOU are the one piloting your body
3. Food is Fuel & Meat is Murder (yet I'm not a vegan)
4. Don't let the present confuse you about the past, or about the future
5. Optimism pays a much better interest rate

Cartoon for the Frieze of the Villa Stoclet in Brussels: Fulfillment
https://botfrens.com/collections/109/contents/28540

"Fulfillment," part of Gustav Klimt's work for the frieze of the Villa Stoclet, depicts a mesmerizing embrace adorned with patterns reminiscent of Byzantine mosaics, reflecting Klimt's signature blend of symbolism and ornamentation. The swirling golden motifs and intricate details evoke a sense of opulence and dreams, embodying the essence of Klimt's contribution to the Vienna Secession movement.
