An image with four panels arranged 2x2 in which Star Trek's Captain Picard is telling a story to Dathon, a Tamarian captain. Picard is trying to relate the story of Ea Nasir, the ancient copper merchant, to Dathon. Picard says, "There's a story, a very ancient one, from Earth. I'll try and remember it. Ea Nasir, a copper merchant at Ur. He sold bad copper. He mistreated his customers. He made them angry. Nanni, a buyer from the city, wrote him a sternly worded letter..."
No, I'm not much of a story teller. Besides, you wouldn't understand. Shaka, when the walls fell. Perhaps that doesn't matter. You want to hear it anyway.

#NowPlaying Never pass up #Ragenap and #Dathon reimagining “Journey in Satchidinanda” for 41 mesmerizing minutes using electric guitars. Only slightly bummed I missed out on the limited edition of 20 (!) cassette tapes from @islandhouserecs.bsky.social. ragenap.bandcamp.com/album/journe...
