No child of this world should be bound. We do not choose what country we are born into. Every child should be given the same chance in life. Remember always, the infinite potential of our children - the innocents. They, not us, will carry the burden of our ignorance #oneworld #noborders#love #life (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp2xNs5gea4QSOXInmuV35WDMiQYk9fdOgw21Q0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d2238k2q70xv

My Tolkien love continues... Mithrandir is Gandalf’s name in Sindarin (common Elvish), as a Maiar, one of th always Istarin in the early ages of Middle Earth. He was also known as Olórin (in Quenya, or High Elvish) and Incánus in the South. He never travelled to the Eastern regions. After the success of The Hobbit, Tolkien's publisher requested a sequel. Tolkien sent them an early draft of The Silmarillion but they rejected the work as being obscure and "too Celtic". The result was that Tolkien began work on "A Long Expected Party", the first chapter of what he described at the time as "a new story about Hobbits", which became ‘The Lord of the Rings’. Arguably, though, the Silmarillion is far more epic than either the Hobbit or LOTR, even if incomplete. It is darker (incest) and more disturbing (torture) than either, but also richer in philosophy and symbolism. #tolkien #jrrtolkien #middleearth #fantasy #thesilmarillion #mithrandir (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BocMCLSFV90BnJ1_6YYkatZivEKDjzHssEq2Iw0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ohvxjd3nhb78

#girlcrush #womancrush There is so much beauty in the world, but my woman crush is Monica Bellucci. She is so classically beautiful - and now - even at 53 years old (she did James Bond when she was 50!) - she is a siren. As a woman, for me she is an icon - and the fact that Bellucci is still so gorgeous at 53 sends hope for all other women!! :) She is one of my fave female icons ever. She strays from limelight and lives a life of solitude and value. So European, so classical, siempre meravigliosa! ❤️🙏🏼 #monicabellucci #beauty @monicabellucciofficiel (at Rome, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoRat7KFycZpyv0azavirLKG43C3GwWalC8QJc0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=eud9ftfeegw9

Another day...another ring... :) This time, a pentagram. Why?? A circle around a pentagram contains and protects. The circle symbolises eternity and infinity, the cycles of life and nature. The circle touching all 5 points indicates that the spirit, earth, air, water and fire are all connected. Historical: The pentagram of Venus is the apparent path of the planet Venus as observed from Earth. Successive inferior conjunctions of Venus repeat with an orbital resonance of approximately 13:8—that is, Venus orbits the Sun approximately 13 times for every eight orbits of Earth—shifting 144° at each inferior conjunction.[31] The tips of the five loops at the center of the figure have the same geometric relationship to one another as the five vertices, or points, of a pentagram. Groups of five intersections of curves, equidistant from the figure's center, have the same geometric relationship. Moreover... The Pentagram is a symbol of a star encased in a circle. Always with 5 points (one pointing upward), each has its own meaning. The upward point of the star is representative of the spirit. To wear a pentagram necklace - or other form of jewellery - is to say you feel the connection with the elements and respect the Earth and everything within it. ❤️ #pentagram #symbolism #humanism #nature (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn9rNj0h97j5VTJALwA76P2W_W99SrfTp69Ciw0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15y824uoxnuq3

“A heart that's full up like a landfill A job that slowly kills you Bruises that won't heal You look so tired, unhappy Bring down the government They don't, they don't speak for us I'll take a quiet life A handshake of carbon monoxide With no alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises Silent, silent...” Radiohead - No Surprises - Ok Computer - (1997) #radiohead #okcomputer #lyrics #poetry (at Rome, Italy)
