it's amazing how so many cultures have interpreted the creation of humanity as a superior being carving or molding materials into people. and we all then go and do the same thing. over and over again we keep modeling and carving and creating. across time and space! we saw divinity in creativity and we indulge in it. as we should.

reading this article about love notes written in rhunes dating back to the 12th century… and they’re as simple as “kiss me,” or “Ljótgeirr and Jóhan are eachother’s friends” … insane. i’m losing my mind thinking of this. 

nuns are cool......but I think they were considerably more cool in the past when they weren't repressing their lesbian urges and were getting into fights with their bishops.

My new, totally uneducated guess for why humans tell stories is to keep them from getting bored and cranky while following a gazelle for four hours. No deeper mystery or meaning. Some folk needed a distraction while they tried to catch dinner so they just made some shit up. The end.

The equivalent of listening and singing to songs on your way home so you don't fall asleep at the wheel.

For millennia upon millenia, humans have had to yell creatively to keep on task 

tell me a pretty thing.

In Uzbek we have this concept of the divine dark, the darkness from which all things came. So there’s this idea that shows up in a lot of our literature that when the world was first made it was like a gentle night, peaceful, quiet and pitch-black. The night is when creation started and the night is when you’re closest to glimpsing what it was like at the very start of the world.

oh wow that's gorgeous.
