The Fool
— Rider-Waite Tarot
Nippy dog at my heel, purse slung
across one shoulder, I stumble
cliffward, sniffing a white rose. Snow
rings the mountains, my winter coat
is torn. If only I would turn,
face the sun setting at my back.
Instead I follow my shadow —
where the journey begins.

I think you just typed the url for the image incorrectly (with a space between ...~fools/ and artwork...).
If you delete the space it should solve your problem.
A.D.
It worked!
You are a genius, and a helluva nice guy. Thank you!!
Peter
No problem.
I have to say that this post and the response to yesterday's have made me think of "The Joker" of Steve Miller fame.
I never did find out what the "pompitous of love" was.
AD,
He made it up.
Peter,
I can definitely relate to "The Fool." Eerie. :-)
"Pompitous of Love" what a great blog name! :)

Thanks for this.
whenever I have my cards read I always get all the women cards and I always led by the moon. Not a bad thing to be led by, T

David: thanks, I like this. I'll put it over my writing desk. :)
