Riff on July 2024 reading, etc.

I experienced the middle weeks of July 2024 as simultaneously rapid and static. Doldrums should never be so frenetic. If this decade were a novel I would’ve put it down several chapters back. I try not to obsess over things I cannot control. I try to get away from screens. I try to go outside, but the feels like heat index here in north Florida goes over a hundred and five every day. (At least…

[sarahsinferno]

where silence drapes

like a velvet shawl over the shoulders

of ancient trees, I find my breath

in sync with the whispering leaves.

here, time drifts slowly, unburdened

by the frantic pulse of streets,

by the echo of voices that clash

like metal on metal.

the soil, rich and dark, cradles me,

its tendrils whispering secrets

of forgotten lore. I wander

beneath the canopy, a visitor

to a world that hums in a language

older than any human tongue.

the human world is a tangle of wires,

bright screens, and hurried conversations.

it is a landscape of sharp angles

and ceaseless noise, a labyrinth

with no clear center.

in the forest, I do not need to speak;

the soft murmur of the brook

and the rustling of the underbrush

are enough to soothe a restless soul.

i do not understand the need for chaos,

the unending chase for meaning

where meaning seems to scatter

like leaves before the wind.

here, under the dappled light,

beneath the stoic gaze of the oak,

I am at peace, a small part of a whole

that breathes in quiet harmony.

the human world will continue

to whirl and spin, a ceaseless storm,

but in the forest, I find a place

where the heart learns to listen,

and the mind finds stillness.

Mary I's Fight For The Throne

7th July - Mary hears of the King's death

Whilst the exact timeline and whereabouts of Mary on her journey to Kenninghall is unknown, she is confirmed to have stayed at Euston Hall, the house of Lady Burgh, "a lady worthy of high praise for her ready and courteous services to her sovereign." 1

It is here where she is first told of her brother King Edward's death by her goldsmith Robert Reynes, a "citizen of London, newly returned from the City." 2

Courtier Nicholas Throckmorton later claimed to have sent Robert to Mary, writing a poem in his autobiography:

"Wherefore, from four of us, the news was sent, How that her brother he was dead and gone, In post her goldsmith then from London went, By whom the message was dispatched anon She asked "If we knew it certainly?" Who said, "Sir Nicholas knew it verily." The author bred the errand's great mistrust, She feared a train to lead her into a trap She said "If Robert had been there she durst Have gauged her life and hazarded the hap."3.

Whilst Nicholas Throckmorton was a Protestant, his brother Robert was Catholic, and married to the daughter of Mary's former chamberlain.

Regardless of who sent Robert Reynes, Mary does not trust the messenger, and does "not let the news be spread abroad." 4 Instead, she leaves Euston Hall and carries on to the safety of her own house at Kenninghall.

Meanwhile...

The newly arrived Imperial ambassadors demand an audience with King Edward. The Privy Council tell them they "will speak to the King about it, fix a time according to his Majesty's condition, and let [them] know." 5

The French ambassador Antoine de Noailles visits the Duke of Northumberland. 6

The Mayor of London, magistrates and members of the King's guard are summoned to Greenwich and agree to abide by the terms of Edward's will. They swear allegiance to the new queen. 7

The captains of the 6 ships in Margate convene under their commander, Sir Richard Brooke. Upon his return to The Greyhound, Captain Gilbert Grice reveals King Edward is dead, "but praised be God as he declared the realm had another King, being the Duke’s his lord and master’s son the Lord Guildford, who was married unto the Duke of Suffolk’s daughter.” 8 When asked by his men what Lady Mary should do, being King Henry’s daughter, Grice answers that they are to go forth for her apprehension, and at Yarmouth they should go on land and keep the country from going to her. He says they should “play the man, and in doing so obtain and win the spurs.” 9 The Greyhound's Master, John Hurlock, declares Grice is a villain traitor for saying so, declaring Lady Mary the rightful queen, and with her he would live and die.

Sly5thAve - Liberation - leading a whole orchestra on his new album

‘Liberation’ is the third solo LP from composer, arranger, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Sly5thAve. Layered with orchestral arrangements, jazz improvisation and Hip-Hop production, ‘Liberation’ is an accomplished record of courage, musical conviction, and growth. Known for his sophisticated compositions, Sylvester Uzoma Onyejiaka II AKA Sly5thAve’s first experiences with large scale arranging were with the Club Casa Chamber Orchestra and recording instrumental covers of popular modern songs. Notably, his orchestral tribute to Dr. Dre, ‘The Invisible Man,’ garnered widespread praise and attention, even earning the admiration of Dr. Dre himself. Through these recordings Sly5thAve felt he had found a way to make people connect with orchestral music; “I’ve long felt orchestras around the world are inaccessible to most people – whether it be the programming or the cost, or the location”. The LP is Sly5thAve’s first full album of original orchestral arrangements and features the musicianship of Sly5thAve’s collaborators and Ghost Note bandmates - headed by Snarky Puppy's multi-Grammy–winning percussion duo Robert “Sput” Searight and Nate Werth, alongside previous collaborator Roberto Verástegui. MUSICIANS Sly5thAve – Bari Sax, Tenor Sax, Flute, Bass Clarinet, Aux Keys, Synth Bass, Drum Programming Roberto Verástegui – Keys (A1, B1, B3, C1, C3, C4, D2, D3) Todd M.

I feel the need to share my Brook Emotions playlist, so. Have a selection of my favorite songs that I've assigned to him. Not including any versions of Binks' Sake cuz. That's obviously his song. Yes, I know his character is more than just being sad, but FUCK his story resonates with me and I see his pain Everywhere. I categorize them based on the specific vibes I get, but they tend to overlap. They're in no particular order of preference, just the order in which I grabbed them.
