The Simpsons (1990-1999) was perhaps the greatest show ever. Now, not so much.

This is a great essay about how The Simpsons crumbled.

Consumer of ephemera

Want to feel lonely? Say something unpopular. Want to feel even lonelier? Stay silent.

The clouds are always grayer on the other side.

I want the best for the part of me that’s better for everyone else too

I won’t overthink it.

Jvari Monastery in Mtskheta, Georgia, just outside Tbilisi, is quite possibly the most spiritually ecstatic place of worship I’ve ever been. At sunset, the local congration gathers by candlelight to chant. The pagan influence on Christianity is clear, and beautiful.

The still, sedate air that envelops you

Everything you could ever want or be you already have and are.

Are you the bird, the mountain or the sky?

All weather happens all the time somewhere.

The holy ground is cloudy.

From Wikipedia: “The Western Wall is considered holy due to its connection to the Temple Mount. Because of the Temple Mount entry restrictions, the Wall is the holiest place where Jews are permitted to pray, though the holiest site in the Jewish faith lies behind it.” .
.
It’s a powerful place... but it fills me more with frustration and bewilderment (for the politics and history), than awe. It’s a phenomenon to watch these devout men kiss and talk to this wall, seated in plastic furniture. But I suppose I prefer staring at the sea.
