"Every land should be a holy land. One should find the symbol in the landscape itself of the energies of life there. That’s what all early traditions do. They sanctify their own landscape." Joseph Campbell True myth may serve for thousands of years as an inexhaustible source of intellectual speculation, religious joy, ethical inquiry, and artistic renewal. The real mystery is not destroyed by reason. The fake one is. You look at it and it vanishes. You look at the Blond Hero — really look — and he turns into a gerbil. But you look at Apollo, and he looks back at you. The poet Rilke looked at a statue of Apollo about fifty years ago, and Apollo spoke to him. “You must change your life,” he said. When true myth rises into consciousness, that is always its message. You must change your life." Ursula K LeGuin

“To live in this world

you must be able

to do three things:

to love what is mortal;

to hold it

against your bones knowing

your own life depends on it;

and, when the time comes to let it go,

to let it go.”

“For I am the first and the last

I am the venerated and the despised

I am the prostitute and the saint

I am the wife and the virgin

I am the mother and the daughter

I am the arms of my mother

I am barren and my children are many

I am the married woman and the spinster

I am the woman who gives birth and she who never procreated

I am the consolation for the pain of birth

I am the wife and the husband

And it was my man who created me

I am the mother of my father

I am the sister of my husband

And he is my rejected son

Always respect me

For I am the shameful and the magnificent one”

Hollobone is leaving the planet. The mothership will soon be here and I don't want all this stuff hanging about in the ether. The research was very interesting, but as this place is pretty much doomed whats the point of staying? The pictures have all been deleted and some of the text will be saved to the Ships computer for analysis later by our experts. We are taking all the remaining Bees. The others have settled in nicely and as you won't be needing them in the future you might as well get used to them not being around. Thanks for not seeing through the disguise and congratulations to those who did and said nothing...

Death is not the opposite of life. Life has no opposite. The opposite of death is birth.
