This eternal moment,
an immaculate conception
of sweaty hips & lips;
such innocence, such bliss.

Weekend Music Share: The Moody Blues, Have You Heard
‘Have you heard’ by the Moody Blues was one of my favorite songs as a teen.
Listening to it again decades later, it seems wise and strangely euphoric.

#MondayMood: For Oscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez and His Daughter, Valeria
To be civilized does not mean having studied at university, or having read many books, or possessing great wisdom: we all know that certain individuals with these characteristics were capable of committing acts of absolutely perfect barbarity. To be civilized means to be capable of fully recognizing the humanity of others, even though they have different faces and customs to ours; to know how to put oneself in their place and look at ourselves as if from outside. No one is definitively barbarian or civilized and each one of us is responsible for our actions. But we, who today receive this great honour, have the responsibility to take a step forward towards a little more civilization. Tzvetan Todorov
