To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.
~ WENDELL BERRY
Such things should never happen but we die The swallow finds an oak to nest her young Defenceless between the earth and the sky Uncounted beneath a vast, indifferent sun A mother holds her baby to her breastShe trusts in you yet does not dare to breatheAs the baby swallow falls from its nestAs the mighty oak does not appear to seeSuch things should never happen but they doIn a darkened room, a mothеr criesThe swallow seeks to build its nest anеwThe oak tree lifts its branches to its eyes
~Nick Cave, Seven Psalms
Much love to each one of you, some beautiful words with music from the magical duo, Nick Cave and Warren Ellis.
Be well
