"Nothing In This Well But Wind" - by Hafiz

I'm drunk again on the wine of love -- Winebringer, bring more wine! And fill my cup, for without wine this party will be no fun.

My love won't even penetrate that veil covering the Beloved's face; So Minstrel, give us a melody, and Winebringer, bring us some more wine!

Together, all of us here are hoping to see His face; Together, all of us are waiting with our vain hopes, fancies, and dreams.

Drunk from Your gaze, I lust for Your ruby lips. I have been reduced to less than a question, which in the end is less than my vain dreams.

Because no one can look directly at the sun, I have asked the eye of my hear: what is the use of all this worrying?

So don't waste your time trying to fill your cup with water When you know there is nothing in this well but wind.

O Hafiz, in this desert, you have fallen victim to your own illusions. When was a pilgrim's thirst ever quenched by a mirage?

The "Dionysian Light" icon

So there have been a number of other blogs I've noticed starting up with a Dionysian theme that have taken up the same icon that I have always used -- a posterization of one of His images from an old urn or vase, I believe.  It's a pretty common image, comes up on the first page of Google, so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.  Still, it popped up again in another new Dionysian blog, and I'm starting to feel like my blog here just gets lost in the waves of Dionysian blogs with the same icon, so I want to change it.

The question is, to what?

I have a number of ideas already, including many images from my files that I haven't posted here yet.  But I thought I'd check with you, my lovely followers and whatnot, my own Propompeia of sorts, to see if you have any suggestions -- whether from the images I've already posted, or something else entirely.  Let me know?

Mrow! Me! By Cupcake Paparazzi (aka Mr. Bones!). He usually does lots of alternative magaziney type stuff, all crisp and colorful, but he let me play with this piece and learn some ropes on Photoshop. So editing by me!

I usually don’t post pics of my stuffs on here, cuz I have another blog for my modeling stuffs, and the artnaked doesn’t always mesh well with my magical Starchild blog. But I am thinking of taking down my modeling blog and starting a new one, just so I can follow shutterbugs and have it NOT link back to this mainblog. So I just had to post it *some*where!

I am sorry if you hate boobs (just close your eyes and scroll down faster). But wine saaaaaays, too bad. I also wanted to show off my new pretty black hair.
