I leaned over your fool's shoulder and glimpsed the little black drawstring bag being pulled out ~ my intake of breath was rooting for the queen of cups or at least the benevolent tarot of knowledge, but you dealt this tale swell from a stacked deck.<br /><br />Lovely swirls of phrases, descrip and entice-the-further dialogue. Interesting irony that the ultimate empty ("Of not believing in anything anymore.") brought in the fool. Applause to your serious fool-ish debut.<br /><br />~ Absolutely*Kate, believing in believers (thankfully) ... and the fine staff of renown,<br />AT THE BIJOUKate Pilarcik ~ absolutelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12430278736281847787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243178661707887834.post-88699548767995092632010-04-06T11:31:36.080-04:002010-04-06T11:31:36.080-04:00Thank you all so much!
