Theodoros Angelopoulos: ‘Landscape in the Mist’ (1988)
hot take but don’t “blessed be”, “my gods are blessing you”, “i will pray for you to my gods” ANYONE unless they explicitly ask for it or have said it is okay.
if some christian came up to you and said “god bless you. i’ll pray for you” there’s a 98% chance you’d feel uncomfortable so why is it okay for you to do the same thing to someone else just because you don’t worship the christian god?
He’s with me.
He’s with me as I roll on the floor and scream out my heart, tossing around my hair and letting my voice ring out. His voice rings out with mine, clawing the ground alongside me, relishing in wild emotion.
In the feels of dancing. Vigorous motion of my own design, He dances with me. Curls unable to be tamed and eyes that hold a wild desire. Living in the moment of pure ecstasy and love for the art.
In the lows, in the darkness of the most grim corners. In the seemingly forgotten, in the instinct for survival.
In the highs, in the most colorful scenery. Senses filled with a glorious awakening, instinct for living life.
He’s with me.
{ Original Poem for Dionysus }
the gap; shifting mediums of yearning, yearning for the lines unknown. aching to break from the restrains. beauty undefined; beauty untamed. the in-between
straining the bonds of because, opening the page of why. do you hear the call? the call to question, to discover, to create. fallen light of musical reign, star beloved; a glowing image of the space within. the in-between.
