About Me

feet on the ground, head in the clouds (mostly those smudged pink ones)
undu pirucendie eleni mí híse-ilúve


"...in the armour of F a t e (as the Children of Earth name it)
there is ever a rift,
and in the walls of D o o m a breach,
until the full-making, which ye call the End."
circling circling circling round
the sea is the sky is the sun is the ground
and the circle within and the circle unseen
where the unknown is known and the future has been
"In visions of the dark night I have dreamed of joy departed - But a waking dream of life and light Hath left me broken-hearted."

"Ben, what are you doing?
Well, I would say I was just drifting......... here in the pool."

"There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats." A. Schweitzer
don't you just love'em?


"Come Fairies
Take me out of this dull world,
for I would ride with you
upon the wind and dance
upon the mountains like a flame."

And yet again have I seen them...

and the beauty of their faces in the sun was as the new morning, and the wind in their golden hair like to the glory of bright flowers shaken at dawn, and the strong music of their voices like the sea and like trumpets and like the noise of very many viols and of golden harps unnumbered;
and they would ride or dance across the valley of the two rivers where the grey bridge leaps the joining waters; and they would fare swiftly as clad in dreams, spangled with gems like to the grey dews amid the grass, and their white robes caught the long radiance of the Moon... and their spears shivered with silver flames...
"A Bereth thar Ennui Aeair!
Calad ammen i reniar
Mi 'aladhremmin ennorath.
A Elbereth Gilthoniel
i chin a thûl lín míriel..."

Books:

above all

..There stood Turambar spent at last, and there he drew his sword, and said: "Hail, Gurtholfin, wand of death, for thou art all men's bane and all men's lives fain wouldst thou drink, knowing no lord or faith save the hand that wields thee if it be strong. Thee only have I now -- slay me therefore and be swift, for life is a curse, and all my days are creeping foul, and all my deeds are vile, and all I love is dead." And Gurtholfin said: "That will I gladly do, for blood is blood, and perchance thine is not less sweet than many a one's that thou hast given me ere now"; and Turambar cast himself then upon the point of Gurtholfin, and the dark blade took his life.

i might have overdone ;))...
but the list can still get longer, keep checking
does anybody get this far anyway?
bullets cannot be recalled
more about me...
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
...to feel inspired...
With my feet
upon the ground
I move myself between
the sounds
And open wide to suck it in
I feel it move
across my skin
I'm reaching up
and reaching out
I'm reaching for the random
or whatever will bewilder me
And following our will
and wind
we may just go
where no one's been
we'll ride the spiral
to the end
And may just go
where no one's been.
Spiral out. Keep going.♥
