We are decorators.

We adorn our bodies clothing possessions and environments

Sometimes we invest great weath in the practice.

Sometimes we use what is at hand.

We plait necklaces of flowers.

We mark our skin with, soot and clay.

We do not do these things casually.

We do not do these things occassionally.

We act like we are pathologically obsessed with decorating and beautifying our lives
