"Love After Love"

by Derek Walcott

“The time will come

when, with elation

you will greet yourself arriving

at your own door, in your own mirror

and each will smile at the other's welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.

You will love again the stranger who was your self.

Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart

to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored

for another, who knows you by heart.

Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the desperate notes,

peel your own image from the mirror.

Sit. Feast on your life.”

AOM TV: "Bacchanale" performed at The Met

ORGY-ASTIC ECSTATIC!!!

WOW! WOW! WOW!

Wooo Weeee

Now this is the party I want to go to

Y'all cum along

This is a dance scene from an opera

A Wild and Crazy Party

Sex, Drugs, and Rock n Roll!

: )

The Bacchanalia were Roman festivals of Bacchus, 

the Greco-Roman god of 

wine, freedom, intoxication and ecstasy. 

We commonly think of them as frenzied, 

wild and crazy, uninhibited, drunken orgies.

That is what this music and dance express.

It builds and builds and builds into a orgiastic frenzy!

"Bacchanale"

from the opera 

Samson et Dalila Act III

by 

Camille Saint-Saëns

Metropolitan Opera Orchestra

Conductor: James Levine

Met Centennial 1983

Namaste Sweetie! 082420

 by Kevin Slack Photography (link more of his work on AOM)

Namaste Sweetie,

Happy Monday!

I hope you had a lovely weekend

Mine was quiet and relaxing

I binged a Japanese live action film

Entitled

ERASED

 It has an anime version coming out in September

It was a very good story

I loved the characters and how they interacted

Some very sweet moments

This week I plan to present

Epic Dramatic Soundtrack Music

Some of my favorites

I hope you will enjoy your visit

I wish you a beautiful day

Peace and Love,

AOM

"I do not define myself 

by how many roadblocks have appeared on my path.

I define myself 

by the courage I’ve found to forge new roads.

I do not define myself 

by how many disappointments I’ve faced.

I define myself 

by the forgiveness and faith I’ve found to start again.

I do not define myself 

by how long a relationship lasted.

I define myself 

by how much I have loved, and am willing to love again.

I do not define myself 

by how many times I’ve been knocked down.

I define myself 

by how many times I’ve struggled to my feet.

I am not my pain.

I am not my past.

I am that which has emerged from the fire."

Gallery AOM: Williamina and Grace Parrish Photography

Williamina Parrish (September 9, 1879 - January 3, 1941) and Grace Parrish (August 21, 1881 - March 9, 1954) were respected photographers who worked together as The Parrish Sisters at the beginning of the twentieth century.

Williamina "Will" Parrish was considered the leader of The Potters, a group of late teens/early twenties female artists publishing, from 1904 to 1907, The Potter's Wheel, a monthly artistic and literary magazine. She was also the editor of the magazine. The name The Potter's Wheel was inspired by the facing pair of potters made by Caroline Risque which appeared in the inaugural November 1904 magazine.

Grace Parrish, Will’s younger sister, was also a very successful photographer. She was also a model and a violinist.
