“I wanted a metamorphosis, a change to fish, to leviathan, to destroyer. I wanted the earth to open up, to swallow everything in one engulfing yawn. I wanted to see the city buried fathoms deep in the bosom of the sea. I wanted to sit in a cave and read by candlelight. I wanted that eye extinguished so that I might have a chance to know my own body, my own desires. I wanted to be alone for a thousand years in order to reflect on what I had seen and heard ― and in order to forget. I wanted something of the earth which was not of man’s doing, something absolutely divorced from the human of which I was surfeited. I wanted something purely terrestrial and absolutely divested of idea. I wanted to feel the blood running back into my veins, even at the cost of annihilation.”

— Henry Miller, Tropic of Capricorn

I love listening to vinyl. Yes, it is not as crisp as our digital music today. But the sound that you get is much richer. And you can't beat the art and style that came with them.

Alright. That's my older man rant of the day

When they saw the union of rain and earth, they saw it in an erotic sense, as copulation. And this extended to all natural realms of matter. For they could picture love affairs of chemicals & stars, a romance of stones, or the fertility of fire.
