A life well lived Requiescat in pace

เปิดเข้าบลูสกายทีคำถามคือ ใครยังมีชีวิตอยู่บ้าง

ลูกรู้ว่าพระองค์ก็ทรงรู้

It’s finally hereeee! You can go get a copy of my entry for this year, ‘Song of Seabirds’ via this link! shortboxcomicsfair.com/shop-sq4wj/p/s… Thank you in advance and hopefully you’ll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy making them!

It's September! Which means I can start posting these! 30 Days until my comic for this year's @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social, 'Song of the Seabirds' will be launched! Here's a sneak peek of what's inside those 134 pages! See you all very sooooooon!

I'm thrilled to say this: my new book is here for preorder. What began as a little book for my son became The Teacher, a story for people of all ages, a guidebook for all those trying to save their souls—and their world—in a dark time. You can preorder now from Maudlin House (link is below).

Did you know Adrienne Rich wrote a poem about Artificial Intelligence in **1961** and it's absolutely prophetic?

This is definitely not a true story, but there was this student taking a French writing exam who forgot how to say « now » in French and used « alles-y » as an imperative for « go there ».

"How does one go / about dying?" —Franz Wright #poem #poetry #poetrysky

Sometimes I’m reminded of how insignificant I am ever adrift in the current of human history thousand years thousand years thousand years have passed have passed have passed pass pass pass Mere droplet on an ever flowing river I feel so vast and empty And I don’t know what to do with my life

“Your hand in my hand, still warm, still warm.” Simple joy of companionship; this which moves mountains and keeps in place our beating heart. Also coming to my mind is the finale of Milton’s Paradise Lost; it is in this manner that Adam and Eve ‘through Eden, took their solitary way’.

I love this so much.

A dream, again. A cut on the back of my hand. And you cared for it. A scratch on my thumb, too. Some mystical green herbs you applied which could ward off evil.

วันครูเห็นคนพูดถึงครูคีตติ้งใน Dead Poet Soc คือครูแกสอนให้นักเรียน carpe diem ´seize the day’ จงใช้ชีวิต ฉวยวันเวลาเอาไว้ seize the day ในความหมายว่ารีบใช้ชีวิตให้คุ้ม แข่งกับเวลาและวารีไม่คอยท่านี่ กลายเป็นความหมายใหม่ (ปัจจุบัน) ไปแล้ว แต่เดิม Horace ที่เป็น origin ไม่ได้เร่งอะไรเรานัก แค่บอกให้ enjoy the moment เฉยๆ อนาคตอะไรเราไม่รู้หรอก 5555

Tristia, Ovid So that ‘feet’ contains double meanings? Like, Ovid’s own feet and poetic feet (dactylic)? Anyone can confirm? Any Latin language guru? 👀
