no meaning, And yet I’m happy.
I can’t figure it out!

Turner ("Inverary Pier, Loch Fyne: Morning") "Karasu" (or "Kyo Maiko") by Hasegawa Sadanobu III Karasu animation using Adobe Firefly Perfection embraces the flow of time and the nature of self and therefore your very essence. Siddhartha replies: "The Dancer" – wood block print by Shimura Tatsumi "They both listened ..." – from Herman Hesse's Siddhartha "Karasu," Siddhartha asks, "Why are ravens unkind?" They both listened to the water percolating in the stream which to them was not just water, but the voice of life, the voice of being, the voice of perpetual becoming. Karasu replies, "Indifference can be seen as cruelty." Karasu adds: "Like the sea, ravens simply wait for the innocent but actually stalk the unprepared, the careless, and the arrogant."

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct to Hell. In short, the period was so far like the present that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on it being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only. Opening of "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens "Raft of the Medusa" by Theodore Gericault "Keyframe Ai Video made with Luma and Midjourney" by Kelly Boesch "The more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it seems pointless."
