Ioic le quéré, Paris, France.

But the following is the condition of cities which have the opposite exposure, namely, to cold winds, between the summer settings and the summer risings of the sun, and to which these winds are peculiar, and which are sheltered from the south and the hot breezes.

They have no such sentiments, but have come against us after calling all their friends to their aid, and procuring orators and mustering all their forces, as though, gentlemen, they were going to punish foes, and not to harm kinsmen and relatives.

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. I sat at a table where were rich food and wine in abundance, and obsequious attendance, but sincerity and truth were not; and I went away hungry from the inhospitable board. The hospitality was as cold as the ices. I thought that there was no need of ice to freeze them. They talked to me of the age of the wine and the fame of the vintage; but I thought of an older, a newer, and purer wine, of a more glorious vintage, which they had not got, and could not buy. The style, the house and grounds and “entertainment” pass for nothing with me. I called on the king, but he made me wait in his hall, and conducted like a man incapacitated for hospitality. There was a man in my neighborhood who lived in a hollow tree. His manners were truly regal. I should have done better had I called on him.

So saying, she placed it in his hands, and he took it gladly. And the prince Peisistratus took the gifts, and laid them in the box of the chariot, and gazed at them all wondering in his heart.
Then fair-haired Menelaus led them to the house, and the two sat down on chairs and high seats.

For the last 16 months I have been creating nebula forms using particles controlled by physics. This short film is made from several nebula series from this period.

“A cloud that veils one of nature’s secret places. This is a stellar nursery, a place where stars are born. They condense by gravity from gas and dust until their temperatures become so high that they begin to shine. Such clouds mark the births of stars as others bear witness to their deaths.” – Carl Sagan, Cosmos: A Personal Voyage Episode 1: The Shores of the Cosmic Ocean

Made my body look like gold for you
Took a thousand dollar loan out for you
Woke up in the morning cooked up a feast for you
But you messed up baby
Messed up real bad
And my mother didn’t raise, no fool

Now it’s time to leave if you want I can pack your shit for you
Love is but a dream baby and I know you can find it too
Don’t even bother looking back cause we are Thru
So Thru baby so thru so thru
Maybe some day you’ll find somebody that loves you like I- that loves you like I do

But right here, this right here it’s over
Oh this long crazy road is done
Oh baby please don’t frown
These things happen
These things happen

It makes my blood boil to think how much I sacrificed for you
So many of my rules I bended and I twisted and I broke them for you
They say some men are dogs and you are proof
You’re so proof baby you’re proof you’re proof baby
Maybe some time in the future you’ll realize that you had a good thing
This was a good thing

But right now this is over
Oh this crazy road is done
I loved you but you took it for granted
And my mother didn’t raise
Baby I ain’t
No fool
I ain’t no fool

And in the future I’ll always think of you
And I’m sure you’ll always cross my mind
And baby who am I kidding I’ll always love
And I’ll think of all the good times I’ll try
When I’m older I’ll reflect back on the good times we had
And baby maybe they’ll make me cry but

I’ll always love you and i want you to know that
But right now this right here needs to be over
