Notes from my summer bubble
9 PM—the sun was still up. Dinner always feels like lunch during this time of the year, in this part of the world. As the sun was up, nine pm seemed like a perfect time to have a Coca-Cola and orange juice popsicle. Two-color popsicles are instant joy.
The sky was bright blue. The seagulls were doing their Summer errands on the top of the buildings. The swallows just danced their free jazz. A soft summer jazz warming up for the peak of the season. My body can’t fly, but it grooves, just as the seagulls, stolen ice creams, the swallows that fish and vibe. But not as those annoying ducks that poop everywhere.
The Sun—in tarot and in the sky—is about the body. Our molecules get it: time to grow, spread, tan, sweat, swim. It’s fertile, alive. The liquids in my body are bubbling, and it blows a big bubble around me. Everything looks holographic from here. I thought Summer was meant to pop this bubble and spread my body parts all around. But it’s not the right thing to do. For now, I’ll stay here.
I’ll be in, enjoying the magical colors and recharging my creativity with its magical hue. It feels delicious in here. Bubbly, comfy, and fun. I can roll, and sometimes it flies, but not too high—my weight gets it back to the ground.
🫧 to claim your bubble, don’t ask for permission—you can always get inspired by the hermit.
Journal & Tarot
I'm cooking up something around journaling + tarot. This is something I have been doing every week for myself, and I would love to share.
Think of tarot talk, prompts, and journal together. Then, a Q&A to wrap up and go ahead with our day.
This is still living in my ideas box, and I would love to hear your thoughts! I made a video to help you understand what I have in mind for now.
❋ Book Club Picnic — Sunday, June 28
We’re taking our book club outdoors! Join us at Töölö Bay for an afternoon of The Age of Innocence, delicious snacks, literary gossip, book bingo (with two books to win), and the kind of conversations that linger long after the picnic ends. The discussion will be guided by Carol Bonatto, writer, reader, and enthusiastic instigator of good book talks.
