Thanks to our Friend, David, for sending us this beautiful poem

"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.”

On Friendship

by Kahlil Gibran

"Your friend is your needs answered.

He is your field which you sow with love 

and reap with thanksgiving.

And he is your board and your fireside.

For you come to him with your hunger, 

and you seek him for peace.

When your friend speaks his mind 

you fear not the "nay" in your own mind, 

nor do you withhold the "ay."

And when he is silent 

your heart ceases not to listen to his heart;

For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, 

all desires, all expectations are born and shared, 

with joy that is unacclaimed.

When you part from your friend, you grieve not;

For that which you love most in him 

may be clearer in his absence, 

as the mountain to the climber 

is clearer from the plain.

And let there be no purpose in friendship 

save the deepening of the spirit.

For love that seeks aught 

but the disclosure of its own mystery 

is not love but a net cast forth: 

and only the unprofitable is caught.

  

And let your best be for your friend.

If he must know the ebb of your tide, 

let him know its flood also.

For what is your friend 

that you should seek him with hours to kill?

Seek him always with hours to live.

For it is his to fill your need, 

but not your emptiness.

And in the sweetness of friendship 

let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.

For in the dew of little things 

the heart finds its morning and is refreshed."

 

AOM TV: "Bacchanale" performed at The Met

Art by DDiArte

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,

Some very sweet moments

"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."
