You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet. (Franz Kafka) :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Alexandra. Annie Lennox. Aquarius.

Remember when searching for a book was carried out thru a card catalogue?
I use to look thru the cards hoping to find a spy comminique. What better place to hide? They were easily accesible, in a public building, anoymous, and one bit of paper hiding with other bits…….perfect
Now they sit collecting dust waiting to be useful again….spies reverted back to using newpaper boxes, which aren’t nearly as much fun to peruse on the sly!
Concrete walls twist up through the interior of this tea house and library that architects Archi-Union have constructed in the backyard of their studio.
Far over the Misty Mountains rise
Leave us standing upon the height
What was before, we see once more
Is our kingdom, a distant light
