A favorite modern lullaby.
🎵😴🎵
“You can sleep now,
Go to sleep,
Daytime’s dying
And the nighttime’s so deep.
I’m standing by to sing a lullaby,… another lullaby.”

Me, my sister, and my daughter sat ‘round the table this morning, laughing ‘til we’re crying and choking. #Sane_Making #laughter

Geese flying in a V formation in a golden orange sky with Mary Oliver’swords: “Meanwhile the wild geese…”
“You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting – over and over announcing your place in the family of things.” – Mary Oliver, ‘Wild Geese’

“We give them money-but are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us-so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them.”

The Corpus Hermeticum dated from the 1st to 3rd C. A good explanation of the text of text : to be god is to take a living and breathing look at the Universe as your own mountainous body. Image of figure under a nebula like star filled sky.
A #Sane_Making morning here on #TheHappyPlanet with reading about the “Corpus Hermeticum”, 7 principles of hermeticism, & how my understanding of Taoism well companions it all.

Lest we never forget what planet this is:
“…just the strong doing what they can,
and the weak suffering what they must.
And the gas leaks, and the oil spills,
And sex sells everything,
And sex kills.”

I fell down a blessèd #PaulSimon rabbit hole this mornin.
If I ever come back as a tree, or a crow
Or even the windblown dust
Find me on the ancient road
In the song when the wires are hushed …
… The earth is blue.
Everything about it is a love song. 🎵🖤🎵

We human beings likely sang before we spoke.
There are cultures that regard singing as such an act of awe that they have creation myths telling that they were sung into existence.
