Unless the current American administration returns to a more liberal notion of internationalism, a geostrategic uncertainty of a kind that is debilitating will overlay the otherwise positive global economic prospects. ~ Paul Keating

A woman in the men's Italian Serie A side? Revolutionary for sure. Those scouts better step on it.

The dance is a great thing
A great thing to me,
With candles lit and partners fit
For night-long revelry;
And gong home when day-dawning
Peeps pale upon the lea:
O dancing is a great thing,
A great thing to me!

    ~ Thomas Hardy

A whole weekend of non-stop dancing. Must sleep now.

A leaf from the travel journal ...

Therefore, colour is a means of exerting a direct influence upon the soul – colour is the keyboard. The eye is the hammer, the soul is the piano with its many strings. The artist is the hand that purposefully sets the soul vibrating by means of this key.

Thus it is clear that the harmony of colours can only be based upon the principle of purposefully touching the human soul. This basic tenet we shall call the principle of internal necessity.

~ On the spiritual Art (1911) Wassily Kandinsky
