A war between competing simple explanations cannot be won, because simple explanations are not falsifiable, any more than the sky god outline of a constellation is falsifiable. It isn't even real enough to be tested. Thus such convictions are logically unassailable; and flourish in precarious times, for the illusion of wholeness & security they offer. Perhaps for weak minded people that illusion is indeed worth something. If only it didn't have genocide as one of the side effects!

IC434 Horsehead and Flame Nebula.

The bookstores that you knew are gone. The bent kaleidoscope of time has shaken once again, its bomb in silence rends the ones who pine for Alexandria, the lost.

Though you once pledged to moving mirrors, trapped the flash in luscious prose, they never crowned you in the biz & filled the rest with crawling horrors-- O Alexandria, you're lost.

Then turn to one who may not leave as solace, not exotic dust but pungent sacramental feast & innocence-destroying love

for Alexandria will be lost.

Night Monsters.

"The thing to do, it seems to me, is to prepare yourself so you can be a rainbow in somebody else's cloud. Somebody who may not look like you. May not call God the same name you call God - if they call God at all. I may not dance your dances or speak your language. But be a blessing to somebody. That's what I think." 🌈 Maya Angelou 🌈 ~ I've been looking for an excuse to repost this vintage paperback rainbow so I'm sneaking in one last entry for #thebookstagrammy competition ('just books' category) at @bookstagramhay.

#Bellapais , The village was the home for some years of #LawrenceDurrell, who wrote about life in #Cyprus in his book Bitter Lemons. He mentions passing the time drinking coffee under the Tree of Idleness in the village and there are two places which lay claim to being the spot. His book did not identify it completely, and two establishments profit from the name. His house, up a very steep climb, has a plaque on it and one can have the pleasure of returning by a not-quite-so-perpendicular way that passes by old olive presses. The jewel of the village is Bellapais Abbey or "The Abbey of Peace (from French: Abbaye de la Belle Paix). Built by canons regular of the Premonstratensian Order in the 13th century, it is a most imposing ruin in a wonderful position commanding a long view down to #Kyrenia and the #Mediterranean sea. #monochromatic #cathedral #orthodoxchurch #bellapaiscathedral #churchruins #aligolroo #videxifilms #northcyprus #girne #musicvideo #filmmaker #cinematography #blackandwhite #architecturephotography (at Bellapais Manastırı) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5YFae7FkQe/?igshid=nx7n6jwbbzn4

“No se oía sino la leve brisa del mar, distante como un eco en el interior de una concha marina. Sí, y a veces una gaviota que volaba por encima de la isla como si quisiera juzgar la profundidad de la playa, para un probable teatro de operaciones. Allí descansábamos, con los cuerpos borrachos de sol, dormidos, los serenos ritmos de la sangre respondiendo sólo a los más profundos del mar y del cielo. Un refugio de felicidad animal que ninguna palabra podrá expresar jamás“. .

“Who invented the human heart, I wonder? Tell me, and then show me the place where he was hanged. / Qui a inventé le cœur humain, je me le demande ? Dis-le moi, et alors montre-moi l'endroit où on l'a pendu.”

Lawrence Durrell,

Justine, The Alexandria Quartet,
