 The Venice Art Crawl

"I think your mythology would call them fallen angels. 

War and hate are their business, 

and one of their chief weapons is un-Naming - 

making people not know who they are. 

If someone knows who he is, 

really knows, 

then he doesn't need to hate ... 

There are still stars 

which move in ordered and beautiful rhythm. 

There are still people 

in this world who keep promises ... 

That’s enough to keep my heart optimistic, 

no matter how pessimistic my mind. 

And you and I have good enough minds 

to know how very limited and finite they really are. 

The naked intellect is an extraordinarily inaccurate instrument ... 

We don’t have to know everything at once. 

We just do one thing at a time, as it is given us to do.” 

~ Madeleine L'Engle

"Here, there's no music here 

I'm lost in streams of sound 

Here, am I nowhere now? 

No plan 

 Wherever I may go 

Just where 

Just there 

I am 

 All of the things that are my life 

My desires, my beliefs, my moods 

Here is my place without a plan 

 All the things that are my life 

My my moods, my beliefs, my desires, me alone 

Nothing to regret 

This is no place, but here I am 

This is not quite yet" 

~ David Bowie 1947-2016 (UK)
