One of the things I love most about Sloth is that Sloth is a slow creature, but with a mind that goes fast. Sometimes Sloth’s mind goes too fast and gets out-of-whack. Manatee is a literal and figurative support for Sloth, who provides a way to get around but also a bit of breathing/thinking space. Manatee whispers, quieting the noise of Sloth’s speedy mind…
This week’s not-tarot:
What do you look at first? What window do you want to peek into most? Who lives there? What else? What the heck? Who is that sneaking around down there?
These friends keep showin’ up, so I keep drawin’ em:
These remind me of course of Sofa Stories, which you can get in a signed, numbered edition, because Art. Yes yes.
Hey if you share this newsletter, and new lovely people subscribe, your email might light up with an Aardvark or a Lion or I might draw you a Thinking Card - yes yes! More details here.

Finally: I don’t think Sloth or Manatee have ever seen a phone, or know what one is (I could be wrong maybe they rifle around in my stuff) but they agreed to carry this nice banner, just a wee reminder to put down the device and breathe, become aware of the cosmos above your head and the ground expanding out beneath your feet/whatever structure you are in, and be Aware.
That’s enough whatnot and shenanigans for now. Have a groovy week!
May you mingle with friendly folks, may you look through a picture window, won’t you be my neighbor?

Following a Train of Thought
I love how this week’s not tarot immediately inspired my curiosity and creativity as I wondered about the lives, people, and going’s on in each window. What an evocative view!
