A common space for harmonic peacemakers
- Maurice Béjart - Boléro De Ravel - (last part)
The Muses in myth, Function in society, Function in literature

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!

Hafiz Poems "The earth would die if the sun stopped kissing her"
Inside the chaos,
build a temple of love.
- Rune Lazuli
haha
so true
GYÖNYÖRŰ !!
"There is a brokenness
out of which comes the unbroken,
a shatteredness
out of which blooms the unshatterable.
There is a sorrow
beyond all grief which leads to joy
and a fragility
out of whose depths emerges strength.
There is a hollow space
too vast for words
through which we pass with each loss,
out of whose darkness
we are sanctioned into being.
There is a cry deeper than all sound
whose serrated edges cut the heart
as we break open to the place inside
which is unbreakable and whole,
while learning to sing."
~ Rashani
"i know love does to pain
what sunlight does to rain,
in the absence of doership
we’re reminded once again
that inherent in each cloud
is a rainbow not-yet-born,
the awakened state is present
even as we mourn.
so let the tears keep flowing
and trust whatever comes,
each moment is a banquet
of abundance, not of crumbs."
~ Rashani

"PEACE
NOT WAR
GENEROSITY
NOT GREED
EMPATHY
NOT HATE
CREATIVITY
NOT DESTRUCTION
EVERYBODY
NOT JUST US"
