A Few Words From The Wise
Speak to him, for there is none born wise.
-The Maxims of Ptahotep
In mourning or rejoicing, be not far from me.
- an Ancient Egyptian Love Song
But your embraces
alone give life to my heart
may Amun give me what I have found
for all eternity.
-Love Songs of the New Kingdom, Song #2
To Know the Dark
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is travelled by dark feet and dark wings.
-Wendell Berry
Up in the morning's no for me,
Up in the morning early;
When a' the hills are covered wi' snaw,
I'm sure it's winter fairly.
-Robert Burns
Visit to the Hermit Ts'ui
Moss covered paths between scarlet peonies,
Pale jade mountains fill your rustic windows.
I envy you, drunk with flowers,
Butterflies swirling in your dreams.
-Ch'ien Ch'i
Mistress of high achievement, O lady Truth,
do not let my understanding stumble
across some jagged falsehood.
-Pindar
Every Gaudy colour
Is a bit of truth.
-Nathalia Crane
I counted two-and-twenty stenches,
All well defined, and several stinks.
-Samuel Coleridge

Date: 2009-10-14 07:17 pm (UTC)This is the view from the airfield near the place in the Adirondaks that my dad and my aunt inherited from my grandparents, and where I spent a month each summer as I was growing up. My parents moved around enough that I had lived in something like 22 houses by the time I was 25. This place was a constant in my life, and always and forever it will be the place where, for me, the sky is bluer, the air sweeter, and the streams more crystal clear, the place where my inner self resides. I was going to say where my heart lives, but really, that is wherever my husband and I are together!
Icon is not "aimed at" you, or expressing the sort of thing one does by sticking out ones tongue. It is Bes, an Ancient Egyptian household god and I just like the little guy (his body is that of an achondroplastic dwarf).
