“You can discard most of the junk that clutters your mind — things that exist only there — and clear out space for yourself: by comprehending the scale of the world; by contemplating infinite time; by thinking of the speed with which things change… the narrow space between our birth and death, the infinite time before, the equally unbounded time that follows.”

— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations (9.32)

There is a type of person for whom life is a more insurmountable problem than for others, for whom the burden of anxiety and fear is almost as constant in his daily breath. Rank used the term "neurotic" for one type of person who was without illusion, who saw things as they were, who was overwhelmed by the fragility of the human enterprise . . .. [The neurotic] is the "realist" that William James talked about when he said that the right reaction to the horrors of organismic life on this planet is the psychotic one. But this kind of "realism," as Rank said, is the most self-defeating of all.

Say hello to my new little friend. He doesn't have a name yet, because he's to become a Christmas gift to my dad who had wished for a little frog friend this year. I love him anyway. So cute it's ridiculous.

Pattern is ofc by Claire Garland. The clothes and bag and all that is just freestyled by me though.

A rock crystal ball talisman mounted as a pendant in silver and decorated with stylised roses at each end. The sling mount is early seventeenth century and is decorated with punching in the form lozenges and pellets. Abrasions to the ball suggest that it might be considerably earlier then the silver work. It is contained within a fitted wooden case lined with velvet and covered in shagreen. English?, c.1620. Photographs: Author.

For those curious, the instrument is called a hurdy gurdy and did in fact exist in medieval Europe.
