Tis said that Love makes the World go around… and makes one… rather dizzy… too. From times of Yore… and the times of the Gods… Love… is in the air. Other places… also. Join Shiro as he seeks and searches Our World Legends… looking for Love… in all the right… and wrong Places and Ways. Love can bring Light into our Lives or throw us deep… into the Dark.
The Legends are full of it.
Of Love,.. that is.
In some form.
From the earliest Times… we have put emotions into
words.
Feelings and actions inspired by ideals… too.
We love to… love.
Reflected so well too… in the Tales we tell…
…and oft retell.
Of Dreams, Hopes and Tragedy therein.
Our World Legends.
Herein… also.
Like the burning blossom within Shakespeare’s
fiery epic of;..
Romeo and Juliet.
Eternal Flame.
Relit…
… just before burning out it seems.?.
Or not.?.
Perhaps… just smoldering…
…awaiting another History and Herstory.
Another retelling.
Enabling then,..
…this Eternal Flame… be relit.
So these Legends do seem to say.
Fire… Starters…
…to Light that Fire.
The Legends of the Ancient Gods are… eye-opening.
They act… all together… too Human.
Their Traits… are Ours.
Excepting the odd Miracle… they grow, learn and age.
With Family, Friends, Lovers and Enemies… too.
As… we All do.
Love in the Legends contains much drama.
Shakespearean and otherwise.
Sumerian… for example.
The Gods are rampant within their Writings.
Doing and achieving… great things it seems indeed,..
…in deed and in fact… too.
The Civilisation of Sumer is one of our eldest.
Whose records… we can still sorta read.
Lil Clay Brick Records btw.
As herein Slide-show… below.
Love Letters… of Paper…
…and Clay… too.
Inanna and Dumuzi of Sumer… had… it.
Love,.. Dreams, Happiness… and each other… also.
For a short time… anyways.
Dumuzi it seems at some point… had…
..had enough.
Of… something.
Journeyed away… to the… Dark side.
The UnderWorld… actually.
This… for some reason… irked Innanna…inanely indeed.
Intensely also.
Journeying… to Hell and back… literally.
The UnderWorld… anyways.
A Land to which Dumuzi had recently journeyed to…
…and… also;..
…Where… her Sister… lived.
Ereshkigal… her name.
Thus above sets the Scenes for one of the first
Love Epics, Odes and Poems.
And so on, does… Love,.. tumble, fumble and fall;..
…through the Legends.
Via the Goddesses and Gods in the main.
Of many Cultures and Ways therein… too.
This indeed leads Love and it’s inherent forms to
include such as the Noble Divinity aspect into
it’s equation vis the Sacred Marriage Ceremonies
and Rituals therein various Traditions.
Akin to the Nature Worshipping whereby both Sacrifice
and Regeneration are Major Themes incorporated. To
reflect their Understanding and Relation of the Way
things are.
Over Herstory and History… in different times and places
these Themes shift only in Local color per se.
Creation and Growth.
Dreams.
Hope and Tragedy.
Inviting or Forbidden.
Bawdy,.. even Lustful when needed…
…Tender as required… also.
Spending a Night…
…with a Knight.
Via such as the Olden Troubadours of Courtly and Knightly
Love.
Where the concepts of Honor, Justice, Representation,
Adoration… all combine.
The Damsel fair,.. troubled in some ways and means.
Men… just there to aid.
Love… from a distance.
A background detail to the Main Issue therein.
Somewhat distant and unnecessary.
Almost… aloof.
(…Aloof.?. Tis not surprising sayeth Shiro here… Let’s be…
naked with the Truth here;..
…Aloof is Polite… Whilst maybe having Noble thoughts
in Mind… These guys… didn’t wash much…
even less than the Wild Cowboys of the West… if…
at all… and…
sat on smelly Horses…
ALL day… night too… sometimes… slept.?. in dark
danky Castles…
got around in tin can steamy and clanky Armor Suits
with Longjohns as company… look… ???…
do not the Legends say:
…Sir Lancelot… who… used his Lance… a LOT… lived
and camped most oft near rivers, bridges and on
the shores of that Lady in the Lake…
squeaky clean Lance methinks.!.
A Legendary Hint perhaps therein there… too.
For those with an interest: For long lasting Modern Male
smelly goodness…try a few splashes of that other Hero…
Aramis… of the Musketeers and Perfumed… Approach… 😉
Anyways…)
On with this show;…
The Housing of Juliet:..
…The Slide-show…
That is.
A Rose…
…by any Name… at all.
Shakespeare combined the Real of the situation with
additional emotional content as context.
In Ways that resonated.
The Love he enwrapped in the Romeo and Juliet Tale…
so familiar in some way…
…to many.
A form of Love… forbidden… by outside Forces…
while the Lovers beset and besot,..
…by their own Inner… ones… also.
Fire and Ice.
This Theme and Approach oft replayed, recycled, reloaded.
Romeo and Juliet just one approach.
The Lovers… barely afloat on a sea of emotions.
Waves of emotion.
Raw.
Where each action can trigger… an avalanche.
Or… tidal wave.
Fire AND Ice.
Eternal Flame. Relit.
This is evidenced by taking a particular view.
This View…
…of the Lonely Hearts that is.
Of such as the Lives and Tales thereof of even
recent generations.
Of events of 31st of August, 1997.
Or of the events of August 8th, 1977 perhaps… as well.
Of the humility, style and graces of such personages,..
…as Lady Diana Spencer or…
…Princess Misha’al bint Fahd al Saud.
Themes and actions that echo throughout Our Time.
Of misunderstanding and… misuse of Protective Power.
Of Care-takers… becoming Executioners.
Of Rituals that belong nowhere in Time… not Now.
Nor then.
Of a Love… that then… tore apart their World.
In the Modern… as well.
The recent Renaissance, Commoner, Princess
or otherwise.
Relit.
Still burning.
O… Wherefore… art Thou.?.
One hopes and wonders… too.
That… cool heads prevail and;..
…no such tragedy alights still or ensues from the current
journey and recent seeming disappearance of Princess
Sheikha Latifa in Dubai.
Not another variation of our eternal theme.?.
Relit.?.
A Legend in the making thereof.?.
More Hope… less Tragedy.
Enjoy, Take Care… and Love…
…Your very Own Journey.
In this World and the UnderWorld… also.
For… on and in Your Journey…
Love may alight and find You One,..
…therein… too.
Burning with raw emotion and power.
A… fire within.
Fired Up.
IN… Love.

Another Scene… as per the Article Feature Photo… vis the Sunset at Ballet Team’s Adaptation of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
In Tragedy, Hopes… and Dreams… as well.
Yours… Theirs.
So Our World Legends, say.
Eternal Flame.
I…
Dream of Ninja.
Do You… Have a Dream.?.
Till next…
