Just a little more And we shall see the almond trees in blossom The marbles shining in the sun The sea, the curling waves. Just a little more Let us rise just a little higher. (Giorgos Seferis. A little more. From Mythistorima .1935) (Photo: Delos. Herbert List. 1935) —— Λίγο ακόμα θα ιδούμε Λίγο ακόμα θα ιδούμε Τις αμυγδαλιές ν’ ανθίζουν τις αμυγδαλιές ν’ ανθίζουν τις αμυγδαλιές ν’ ανθίζουν Λίγο ακόμα θα ιδούμε Λίγο ακόμα θα ιδούμε τα μάρμαρα να λάμπουν, να λάμπουν στον ήλιο κι η θάλασσα να κυματίζει Λίγο ακόμα, να σηκωθούμε Λίγο ψηλότερα, λίγο ψηλότερα, λίγο ψηλότερα Λίγο ακόμα, να σηκωθούμε Λίγο ψηλότερα, λίγο ψηλότερα, λίγο ψηλότερα (Γιώργος Σεφέρης. Λίγο ακόμα. Aπό την ποιητική συλλογή «Μυθιστόρημα». 1935) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlzpsIoJyQk

“Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past me I will turn to see fear’s path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

-Frank Herbert, Dune

Bonnie Raitt’s honeyed voice, skillful slide guitar work and archetypal collection of folk, pop, blues, soul and R&B songs have made her one of the most hailed musicians of her generation. Though she was an industry favorite from the early ‘70s, Raitt didn’t reach the equivalent in commercial success until her tenth studio album, 1989’s Nick of Time. The #1-selling Billboard 200 album whirled her into the mainstream with captivating, flawlessly performed tracks “Have a Heart” and “Thing Called Love.” After multiple Grammy wins, platinum-selling albums and an induction into the Rock on the Roll Hall of Fame, Raitt has achieved the kind of widespread success fans and critics had expected for decades

You ever think about how unified humanity is by just everyday experiences? Tudor peasants had hangnails, nobles in the Qin dynasty had favorite foods, workers in the 1700s liked seeing flowers growing in pavement cracks, a cook in medieval Iran teared up cutting onions, a mom in 1300 told her son not to get grass stains on his clothes, some girl in the past loved staying up late to see the sun rise.

there are scriptures all over the world painstakingly crafted hundreds of years ago with paw prints and spelling mistakes or drawings covering up mistakes. a bunch of teenage girls 2000 years ago gathered to walk around their hometown, getting fast food and laughing with their friends. two friends shared blankets before people lived in houses. a mother ran a fine comb through her child’s hair and told it to stop squirming sometime in the 1000s. there are covered up sewing mistakes in couture dresses from the 1800s, some poor roman burnt their food so well past recognition that they just buried the entire pot. there are broken dishes hidden in gardens of people no one even remembers anymore
