A reminder of rare and wonderful things...

OMDearWTHGod, What has happened while I've been away? I hope everyone is doing well. My Twix page is black and packaged and not at all welcoming now...so much like my life. I hope all of my wonderful mutuals are well. 🩷 I'm so sorry I havent been able to help hold the fort.

A gorgeous & very striking #Roman glass dish, in orange & blue glass with gold decoration. It is only small - comparable to a dip bowl or tapas dish in size - but really does catch the eye! #Archaeology #AncientGlass

I have not even logged in to here for weeks, but my account is being used to report other accounts????😮‍💨 Am just about over my head entirely irl; trying to deal with so much BAD. Does anyone else have experience w/their account being hacked like this? What should I do?

Today I am losing myself in the gorgeous music of Natalie Merchant, who I have loved ever since she was with 10,000 Maniacs. There is such a depth and delicacy to her voice, of power and poetry in her songs.

“Art would be useless if the world were perfect, as man wouldn't look for harmony but would simply live in it. Art is born out of an ill-designed world.” Andrei Tarkovsky April 4, 1932 – December 29, 1986.

The tuft of hairs that carries each dandelion seed on the wind is a 'pappus'. The name comes from Ancient Greek πάππος (páppos), an affectionate word for 'grandfather'. It alludes to its grey, downy form, comparing it to the hair and beard of an old man. #nature #FolkloreThursday

If you read our heartfelt post yesterday, you will know that we have a new life here at Palomino Ridge Ranch Horse Rescue & Sanctuary. This precious bundle of joy, whom we have named Smokey is such a welcomed bright spot. In the video you will see that while he's not yet completely figured out his legs, he sure is determined and oh so cute!! Now obviously Smokey will not need hay for quite some time but his momma sure does. She is going to need all the nutrients she can get while her baby boy grows big and strong. This is just one of the greatest reasons we need your help. At the time of posting this, we are now down to the very last two round bales on the property. We cannot order the next load without first having the funds in hand. So please, if you can spare enough for a bale ($170) or absolutely anything at all towards the $2,358.67 still needed, we sure would be thankful. Smokey would be too.

In the realm where shadows dance, Darkness reigns with silent grace, Not an evil, but a chance, To glimpse the truth in its embrace. For in the veil of darkest night, Lies honesty, stark and bold, While brightness bathes in fleeting light, Concealing truths that must be told.

I love this quote by John Lennon: "I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?" #johnlennon #mythology #dreams
