#ScribesAndMakers 2504.08 — Share a song lyric you've written or heard that resonates with you. (Give credit if it's not your song.)

I'm not religious, but that doesn't mean that allegorical songs can't impress me. Allegory (incidentally as it were) by Murray Attaway is a strangely uplifting and mystical song that never fails to bring pictures to my mind and a sense of awe that brings me chills.

Coincidentally, or perchance not, the lyric snippet below inspired a chapter titled "Allegory" in Reluctant Moon. Thorn Rose takes her friend Streak outside the city to watch a meteor shower, knowing the precise time it will start. Seems the weather service had tracked the trajectory of a piece of the sky struck from the heavens.

I've included a listen link and a lyric link.

Lyrics: genius.com/Murray-attaway-alle
Listen: youtube.com/watch?v=wYVYSLS04Z

Sudden move in the stars, whenever I look to the skies
I can get lost, stand in a mirror and know that I
Am a fragment of something greater than I
Specks of dust in a moonbeam gathering shape
And potent of greatness waiting to light

Even the wind in the trees is the allegory
Everything that is and ever will be is the allegory

GeniusMurray Attaway – AllegoryI see the noon and the noon see me / The moon looks down on what I long to be / There's grace in the heat and grace in the hall / But the grace of God is over us all / Sudden move

🔁 please boost! 🔁

been in a sort of #cooking slump the past few weeks, could use some inspiration. what's your favorite #recipe you like to share with people who don't like to cook? (i've got pretty much no dietary restrictions, although i am somewhat lactose intolerant)

thanks in advance!

developed a recipe for making my own breakfast sausages and i just had from this fresh batch. should have made 2 or maybe 3. i will never go back to store bought as long as i can make my own.

ps: i really love developing recipes. good thing i finally have, with Obsidian and our little kitchen blackboard, a way to capture & write down my mad scientist in the kitchen moments.

Enjoy cooking videos? I created a custom feed on @surf featuring videos from Food & Wine, Food52, Nik Sharma, Maurizio Leo, Babish and many more.

One of the things I love about Surf is the ability to create video feeds in “Watch” mode.
