i just saw Pasolin...these are fascinating images! <br /><br />i just saw Pasolini's "Medea" last night, which granted my wife and I a kind of gentle atheism...<br /><br />so much so that it inspired me to write these lines (an unfinished piece of writing):<br /><br />He asks us,<br /><br />"Walk, with Love as a constant offering,<br />Giving, not taking"<br /><br />I respond,<br /><br />"If we all reach the same source and end,<br />And how we get there is peculiar to each,<br />I choose not to Love, to discontinue my walk.<br />I am taking back what is mine.<br />I am still,<br />To receive You."<br /><br />it's been a while since i delved into Pasolini, maybe five years since i saw "The Gospel According to St. Mathew" i'm very curious now to see the entire "Trilogy of Life" series...<br /><br />to be honest, despite my extensive time in the Middle East, i have yet to read the "1001 Nights" in its entirety, any edition that you would recommend? <br /><br />also, thanks glad to see a posting for "The Thief of Baghdad" i'm going to check that one out soon!<br /><br />i enjoy your posts!<br /><br />(i haven't found anything yet referring to Edward Said, any reason why you haven't yet posted content related to the author of "Orientalism"?)Rusty Kjarvikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03071547323352880050noreply@blogger.com
