A collection of stray thoughts and random pictures from an Unknown...

The air here smells familiar, and the wind sounds almost sad, like the low and distant howling of the dog you never had.

I just did a quick perusal of the Coptic resources on this site, and it has all the resources I’ve personally found worthwhile and then some. These are resources that took me months, if not years, to discover and compile. I am thoroughly impressed. The other languages featured on the site are:

Akkadian

Arabic

Aramaic

Church Slavonic

Egyptian (hieroglyphics and Demotic)

Elamite

Ethiopic (Ge’ez)

Etruscan

Gaulish

Georgian

Greek

Hebrew

Hittite

Latin

Mayan (various related languages/dialects)

Old Chinese

Old English

Old French

Old Frisian

Old High German

Old Irish

Old Norse

Old Persian

Old Turkic

Sanskrit

Ugaritic

For the love of all the gods, if you ever wanted to learn any of these languages, use this site.

Everyone, at some point in their lives, wakes up in the middle of the night with the feeling that they are all alone in the world, and that nobody loves them now and that nobody will ever love them, and that they will never have a decent night’s sleep again and will spend their lives wandering blearily around a loveless landscape, hoping desperately that their circumstances will improve, but suspecting, in their heart of hearts, that they will remain unloved forever. The best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake somebody else up, so that they can feel this way, too.

Wise Advice from a Farmer's Wife

Whenever you return a borrowed pie pan, make sure it’s got a warm pie in it. Invite lots of folks to supper. You can always add more water to the soup. There’s no such thing as woman’s work on a farm. There’s just work. Make home a happy place for the children. Everybody returns to their happy place. Always keep a small light on in the kitchen window at night. If your man gets his truck stuck in the field, don’t go in after him. Throw him a rope and pull him out with the tractor. Keep the kerosene lamp away from the the milk cow’s leg. It’s a whole lot easier to get breakfast from a chicken than a pig. Always pat the chickens when you take their eggs. It’s easy to clean an empty house, but hard to live in one. All children spill milk. Learn to smile and wipe it up. Homemade’s always better'n store bought. A tongue’s like a knife. The sharper it is the deeper it cuts. A good neighbor always knows when to visit and when to leave. A city dog wants to run out the door, but a country dog stays on the porch ‘cause he’s not fenced-in. Always light birthday candles from the middle outward. Nothin’ gets the frustrations out better'n splittn’ wood. The longer dress hem, the more trusting the husband. Enjoy doing your children’s laundry. Some day they’ll be gone. You’ll never catch a runnin’ chicken but if you throw seed around the back door you’ll have a skillet full by supper. Biscuits brown better with a little butter brushed on 'em. Check your shoelaces before runnin’ to help somebody. Visit old people who can’t get out. Some day you’ll be one. The softer you talk, the closer folks’ll listen. The colder the outhouse, the warmer the bed.
