The Left Eye of Horus

Wednesday, August 3, 2011

Horus was the ancient Egyptian sky god who was usually depicted as a falcon. His right eye was associated with the sun Ra. The eye symbol represents the marking around a Peregrine Falcon’s eye that includes the “teardrop” marking sometimes found below the eye. The mirror image, or left eye, sometimes represented the moon and [...]

Orlando

Friday, June 17, 2011

Oh today, today. I don’t really want to write about what today was like, because it was quite awful. Instead, I’ll write about something that makes me happier: my favorite film. I know, I know – just one? Is it even possible to pick only one? I think so. For me, it’s the film that [...]

Sakura Honey

Monday, May 16, 2011

✸ I love these vibrant illustrations by A. Alexeieff for Russian Fairy Tales, from 1945 This bit from Eudora makes me want to track down a copy of my own: “These Russian tales are rambunctious, full-blooded and temperamental. They are tense with action, magical and human, and move in a kind of cyclone of speed. [...]

Waves

Thursday, April 14, 2011

O much neglected corner of the world – little quiet place where I come to lay down my findings, hollowed-out tree trunk where I store treasure. I am embarrassed at how little I’ve been able to find the time, the wherewithal, the peace of mind to write here. Too much has been happening for one [...]

Vultures + Persimmons

Friday, November 26, 2010

Yesterday afternoon, we made the journey over hill and dale on the first of our familial holiday pilgrimages. I hear all the time complaints about the lack of seasons in Texas, and our pitiful lack of autumn – untrue, I say! The oaks are wearing russet cloaks, the sumacs scarlet, and the fields are molten [...]

3 Women

Tuesday, August 17, 2010

I had tried, on multiple occasions, to watch 3 Women – knowing instinctively that I would love it, though I hadn’t yet seen many of Robert Altman’s films. Something always went wrong. The disc had a flaw, and froze up, or everyone had already seen it too many times. Finally, I gave it another try, [...]
