A common space for harmonic peacemakers
- Maurice Béjart - Boléro De Ravel - (last part)
The Muses in myth, Function in society, Function in literature
Muse reading a scroll, perhaps Clio -
The Muses Clio, Euterpe, and Thalia, by Eustache Le Sueur
Melpomene and Polyhymnia, Palacio de Bellas Artes, Mexico
Gustave Moreau, Hesiod and the Muse (1891) - Musée d'Orsay, Paris
"Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns driven time and again off course, once he had plundered the hallowed heights of Troy."
O Muses, O high genius, aid me now! O memory that engraved the things I saw, Here shall your worth be manifest to all!
Muse, American marble statue, artist unknown (c. 1820) - Baltimore Museum of Art
Thalia, muse of comedy, holding a comic mask - detail of “Muses Sarcophagus”, the nine Muses and their attributes; marble, early second century AD, Via Ostiense - Louvre

wise words
thank you
and wishes of well being to all in 2021 ~ * ~
O God, you have prepared in peace the path I must follow today.
Help me to walk on that path.
If I speak, remove lies from my lips.
If I am hungry, take away from me all complaints.
If I have plenty, destroy pride in me.
May I go through the day, calling on you, you,
O Lord, who know no other Lord.

BLOOMING PERFECTION
thorns only draw corrupt blood
GO FORTH WITHOUT FEAR
(inspired by Khalil Gibran)
Wishing you a holy Solstice..
The eve of Winter Solstice
holds a magical air
for ‘tis the longest night,
with the richest fare.
Infused with wisdom,
unseen by most,
garnered by you
by your desire for growth.
In the morn,
the light filters in
and lo and behold
Awareness begins.
But without the darkness,
that rendered you wise,
the dawning light
would have nil to advise.
So sing ye an ode
to the bountiful darkness
for all the wonders
within the primordial womb.
