Post a pic you took with no description to bring some zen to the timeline.

(Taken a few months ago during senior "Beowulf-esque" personal boast presentations.)

Without downloading new pics, what’s your energy going into 2025?
Tweet from Matthew | @CrowsFault: "People speak of hope as if it is this delicate, ephem6thing made of whispers and spider's webs. It's not. Hope has dirt on her face, blood on her knuckles, the grit of the cobblestones in her hair, and just slay out a tooth as she rises for another go."

Virgo Sun, Aries Moon, Aquarius Ascendant

Love this artwork by Yoshi Yoshitani 🥰
Image by artist Yoshi Yoshitani of the Sun in Virgo as a fairy prince. Sign Explained: Distinctive feature of people born under the sign of Virgo is their sense for order and system. They are practical people with great design and manual skills. They are always able to fully concentrate on their tasks. Image by artist Yoshi Yoshitani of Moon in Aries as a red coral mermaid decked in pearls. Sign Explained: The feeling of uncertainty can make you solve problems faster then is natural. Do not rush as if there was a deadline. Try to slow down so that you can decide what you want to do and proceed at your own comfortable pace. Image by artist Yoshi Yoshitani of Rising Sign Aquarius of two suffragette ladies in cat masks carrying vote signs. Sign Explained: People with Aquarius Ascendant are capable of seeing everything, including themselves from a distant, impersonal viewpoint. They have greater understanding of social undertone than of personal approach. In their life they cope better if they have a hope in better future for all mankind.

"Fillet of a fenny snake, / In the cauldron boil and bake; / Eye of newt and toe of frog, / Wool of bat and tongue of dog, / Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting, / Lizard's leg and owlet's wing, / For a charm of powerful trouble, / Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."

Day 15. #booksky #bookchallenge
Cover of The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde (well, technically the audiobook cover because I couldn't find a non-blurry version of the book cover that looked like the copy I have; I suppose I could have looked for my copy and took a picture, but to be honest that seemed like a lot of effort).
