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

To love. To be loved.
To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you.
To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair.
To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple.
To respect strength, never power.
Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.
- Arundhati Roy
good poetry pulls us into the beauty of our being
such a good one from gibran on fear
thank you
sharing it on fb
Befor entering the sea, a river trembles with fear.
She looks back at the path she has traveled, And
in front of her, she sees an ocean so vast, that to enter,
there seems nothing more than to disappear forever.
But there is no other way. The river can not
go back, nobody can go back. The river needs to
take the risk of entering the ocean
because only then will fear disappear,
because that's where the river will know,
it's not about disappearing into the ocean,
but of becoming the ocean.
- Khalil Gibran
