Start your day with a Tarot reading, instead of looking at your phone. Your phone contains all the noise of human ignorance and misery, expressed as righteous indignation. Tarot cards contain the wisdom of centuries and take the ego out of everything. They rely on pure chance. This morning, I have drawn the Star, the …
