Through the darkness of futures past, the magician longs to see.
One chance out between two worlds:
Fire, walk with me.

“Is there anything more beautiful
than a beautiful,
beautiful, flamingo

flying across,
in front of a beautiful sunset?

And he's carrying
a beautiful rose in his beak;

and also;

he's carrying a very
beautiful painting
with his feet.

And also, you're drunk.”

- Jack Handy.

The hinterland, the hinterland
We're gonna sail to the hinterland
And it's far far, far far far, far far far away
Its a far far, far far far, fa da, da da dada da...

- David Bowie, Red Sails (Lodger)

"It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
It is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed,
the lips acquire stains,
the stains become a warning.
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion."

- Mentat mantra, Dune, (dir.) David Lynch

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bird of Space

You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts.
And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude of your heart you live in your lips,

And sound is a pastime, a diversion and wastetime.
And in much of your talking, thinking is half murdered.

For thought is a bird, a bird of space, that in a cage of words may unfold its wings, but cannot fly.

-Kahlil Gibran (song by Bonnie Dobson)

Slow is fast: slow is smooth and smooth is fast: slow is fast.

Where are we?
What the hell is going on?

- Hide and Seek; Imogen Heap

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

May everyone be happy.
May everyone be free of disease.
May auspiciousness be seen everywhere.
May suffering belong to no-one.
Peace.
Jai guru dev
