He’s the man who asks the questions we all secretly ponder, privately, in the very interior of our heads. How is he able to do this? Reminds me of that prayer about God, unto whom the secrets of all people’s hearts are laid open… oh my life, I’m having an acid flashback in which Adrian Chiles = JAH

“We’re doomed, I tell ye… doomed”

Off topic I know, but is that phrase at the end a Sopranos reference or chronologically earlier? I’m only familiar with it from Steve Buscemi’s character Tony Blundetto asking Tony Soprano to be given a slice of the action, and I knew he was quoting from somewhere else… but from
whence, I knew not.

This looks to me to be an example of what medical professionals term

So beautiful 😍

… but I reckon the pierced heart motif in general is derived from pre-Reformation (or counter-Reformation) Catholic visual representations.

Are there other Tarot cards (trumps or suits) that utilise RC imagery?

I guess trump no. V, Le Pape (later, The Hierophant) is a fairly obvious one! 😆

What a terrific photo - showing the Tree Creeper’s gravity-defying skills! 😀
I’ve only ever seen one once, or maybe twice - it was a tremendous thrill to observe it in action, the strange, mouse-like scuttling up and down the tree trunk
