ACT I

SCENE I. A desert place.

Thunder and lightning. Enter three Witches

First Witch

When shall we three meet again
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?

Second Witch

When the hurlyburly's done,
When the battle's lost and won.

Third Witch

That will be ere the set of sun.

First Witch

Where the place?

Second Witch Upon the heath.

 Conor Cusack •  Views From on High in Thailand. I had dinner here in 2011. Amazing views on the 64th floor overlooking Bangkok. It was a 400 dollar a plate executive dinner with pate & other delicacies. A huge rain storm started, so we ate holding umbrellas. Great ambiance.

 Antoine Vollon
Antoine Vollon was greatly influenced by the superb still life painter Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, and followed in his love of simple food and kitchen related genre subjects.
At his most expressive, Vollon’s thick, fluid impasto paint strokes gave visceral presence to the term “buttery”, that painters use to describe paint that flows off the brush in consistency that is workably fluid but thick enough to be manipulated as brushstrokes. This is seen in the remarkable brushwork of his aptly chosen subject of Mound of Butter (above, top with detail crop).

Prov.14:13
"Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness." 

The beauty of love and light you will see,

 To be a Wiccan is the power of three.

To cast a spell of love and light,

 To live a life of all things bright,

To walk with the elements of life so free,

 To talk with the spirits of the plants and trees,

To fly through the night as the owls take wing,

The life of a Wiccan is all of these things.

An exquisite ceramic vase, thrown and finished by hand in the Pre-Columbian style. The intricate detailing is hand-etched. Each item takes several weeks to complete, with up to five different workers bringing their particular skills to the process, starting with the turner who forms the original shape to the artisan who applies the final polish.
