This year, I drew the Aeon for my birthday. This card is really well timed in my life. This is a Saturn Return, ending (and beginning) another 7-year-cycle in my life. Carl Jung study groups traditionally do not admit students younger than 35, for it is believed that the human mind does not fully mature [...]

The beach, the mountains, a Central American cafe, or out in the wilderness...wherever I have my backpack, cell reception, and time, I can work.
