The Century Of The Self (FULL: Episodes 1-4)   

The most selfish generation?  Balls. We are the constructs of a mindful manipulation and need to break free if only once or twice a week....

We are rich: we have nothing to lose.

We are old: we have nowhere to rush.

We shall fluff the pillows of the past,

poke the embers of the days to come,

talk about what means the most,

as the indolent daylight fades.

We shall lay to rest our undying dead:

I shall bury you, you will bury me.

 - Vera Pavlova

Herbst (by ekaterina-koroleva:)

he seemed to me again like a king,

Like a king in exile, uncrowned in the underworld

DH Lawrence

Welcome however it may unfurl, OYear of the Snake.  

Bring your best, do your worst, 

life goes on as a Horse follows on trot 

ain't going to look that Horse in the mouth,

ready, instead, to jump up that gift horse with a saddle 

and ride
