Tell me why, why am I doing this? Is it really because I've nothing better to do, which is what I tell myself most of the time? Am I bored? Am I a masochist? Does anybody care? Spirits say: all three of those answers are no.
Dissertation relayed to me by my own brain, regarding the mutants and the Nomads in particular:
"Humans hate us because they hate the moon. They have driven a wedge between the sun-self and the moon-self. The moon, to them, is a fearful thing--the hidden face of shadows and whispers and cold. Yet the moon is also protection, time, and inevitability. Moon-self, mountain-self: these are predominantly female. Softer and more elusive than the straightforward fury of the sun. It is of note, particularly to the bone-shamans, that there are many cultures among ancient humans who worshipped the sun, and only a handful, if any, that worshipped the moon..."
Just a small thought to keep the day rollin'...
Why do I do what I do? Because movement, any movement, is better than sitting still and dying out...
Fa-la-la-la-la...
Hehe, actually my favorite Christmas song is "O Night Divine". The descant, as properly sung by a whole slew of sopranos and tenors, is completely unearthly in its beauty. Religious considerations aside, it's a helluva song. Seriously. Pick up an instrumental somewhere and see if it isn't true. ;^P
