Wow your art is amazing and the perfect front door for this weird and wonderful community! There is very much something to appreciating the simple things in life. Are you a fan of sci fi?

I'm a huge fan of Ursula's writing but I haven't read Always Coming Home. Definitely adding to the list!

Thanks for reading and thanks for the recommendation :)

Best of luck on your journey as well ^_^
