A consort that would complement me and I him…one who can truly learn what it means to love with a noble heart and serve humanity in a grander sense that extends beyond the self and its needs, but that also knows how to love and honor the self and its needs at the same time…Understands the meaning of King and Queen...and oh yeah, someone who values fun, passion, and play, yet knows how to be serious when a situation dictates...and clearly knows the difference and how to act accordingly...have I scared you off yet?Oh Yeah, Joni Mitchell in a bookstore!

N E thing Jung, Woodman & Hillman
Hamlet
To be, or not to be: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep; No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; For in that sleep of death what dreams may come...

Sonnets to Orpheus
Tree arising! O pure ascendance! Orpheus Sings! Towering tree within the ear! Everywhere stillness, yet in this abeyance: seeds of change and new beginnings near.Creatures of silence emerged from the clear unfettered forest, from dens, from lairs. Not from shyness, this silence of theirs; nor from any hint of fear,simply from listening. Brutal shriek and roar dwindled in their hearts. Where stood a mere hut to house the passions of the ear,constructed of longing darkly drear, haphazardly wrought from front to rear, you built them a temple at listening's core...
The Homeric Hymn to Demeter
And so long as she, the goddess, yet beheld earth and starry heaven and the strong-flowing sea where fishes shoal, and the rays of the sun, and still hoped to see her dear mother and the tribes of the eternal gods, so long hope calmed her great heart for all her trouble. . . . and the heights of the mountains and the depths of the sea rang with her immortal voice: and her queenly mother heard her.Bitter pain seized her heart, and she rent the covering upon her divine hair with her dear hands: her dark cloak she cast down from both her shoulders and sped, like a wild-bird, over the firm land and yielding sea, seeking her child. But no one would tell her the truth...

Ulysses
"And then a rocket sprang and bang shot blind blank and O! then the Roman candle burst and it was like a sigh of O! and everyone cried O! O! in raptures and it gushed out of it a stream of rain gold hair threads and they shed and ah! they were all greeny dewy stars falling with golden, O so lovely, O, soft, sweet, soft! Then all melted away dewily in the grey air: all was silent. Ah!" ~excerpt from Ullysses
No Exit
